> Do you also support a blanket ban of CCTV in public spaces?

I'm not sure I support anything. I'm just pointing out that there is a path available if you don't just assume that you should be allowed to take video.

But it wouldn't bother me at all to have, say, a rule that you couldn't have a surveillance camera covering any space you didn't own, and furthermore that if you had a camera covering a space that you did own that was open to the public, and recordings would be deleted after say 24 hours unless there was special justification to keep a specific one.
