I live in a neighborhood, when I walk the dogs, I care for, on public roadway & public grass areas in-front of everyone’s property, I am video recorded (without any control of my image, customers of the cams & the cams’ service providers have access to my image & there are websites broadcasting the videos submitted) by almost every single neighbor’s Cam(s) at each of their gates.

These type of privacy violation(s), that have become so everywhere in The USA, UK, China & Etc., are they problems in EU, Scandinavian Countries & Denmark?

In some countries (all EU under GDPR?), private CCTVs, including smart doorbells, are prohibited from filming beyond the private property.

I guess that in many countries it is not a priority for the police and that, unless reported, little is being done to enforce that rule.

Well, in The South Florida county, I live in, there is nothing one can do about it. I would surprise that if anywhere The USA, let alone Fl., the laws say it illegal. From my experiences, people seriously do not blink any eye.
