It's not about ownership, it's about privacy. Yes, people are allowed to look at your stuff if you leave it in a public place.

Edit: it's even stronger in this case, because it's your own equipment that is providing the data to anyone who asks politely (using industry-standard requests and no impersonation or other fraud).
