There are two sides to this: investigations and monitoring. For HR and security investigations, this rewind capability would be very useful, is legal, and at least partially already performed using forensics tools.

Monitoring is where you run into moral and, in some places, legal problems. This would probably be a good topic for new legislation.

In any case, an overwhelming amount of Very Bad Things are legal due to corporate laziness, commercial propaganda and anti-education campaigns. "It's legal" cannot be the basis of an argument in favor of legally protecting predatory behavior.

I honestly think that in some legislations with stronger worker protections it'd be legally at least dubious to use something like that for HR or security investigations (in a broad sense) without employee consent.
