“Experts in Europe warn that these devices are used to record strangers without their consent, possibly breaching EU law.”

“A small LED light is designed to indicate when recording is taking place, but RTBF's investigators found that tutorials explaining how to conceal the indicator are abundant and easily accessible online.”

What does that have to do with what I said?

A creep using them to record in a bathroom would be illegal, light bypassed or not.

I’m not sure if you’ve realised, but creeps have been finding ways to film women and girls illegally for as long as there have been ways to film women and girls. That doesn’t make everyone taking photos and videos in public a creep like you pretend it does.

    if you don't understand the enormous implications on what that link means it's a lost discussion mate.

    creeps have always been creeps. why give them a better tool with higher resolution and plausible deniability?

    god it's like talking to a child
