Corrupt law enforcement and politicians everywhere applaud your stance. As do factory farm owners, oil company executives, and the rich and powerful in general.
There should be no expectation of privacy in public places. Harassment is a separate but related issue, though.
I’m firmly in the camp of one-party consent laws. It’s often the only way to hold people accountable for their actions. The rich and powerful shouldn’t be able to sue someone for being recorded. Or worse, have the government act as their lap dogs with arrests.
I agree with you. Filming evidence of a crime should always be legal. But I will say that posting negative videos of people to social media is considered libel in some countries. There’s a line where freedom of speech ends and harassment begins.
I would say secretly recording a politician as they admit to corruption and sending it to journalists and the police is ok, but filming a politician when you ask them loaded opinion questions and then posting it to social media to dunk on them is not.
Good
Yeah, right or left, filming people without their consent isn’t ok. We can win debates without abusing public servants.

Why? That sounds like normal free speech. It’s annoying and intrusive for sure but shouldn’t be illegal.
You can’t pre-empt speech like that. If you do, you’re just enabling censorship and corruption.
