In many ways it's all a nonsense; chances are in a small town you are
appearing on CCTV somewhere and in a big city maybe 50, 100, 200 cameras?
Not that I have any objection to that - I welcome it today - but the
principle should be both ways. If you objecting to being in a photo, chances
are it's already too late, your image has been recorded.
Good point.
Personally I dislike the surveillance cameras that are popping up all
over the place. I think they represent a restriction of my personal
freedom as well as a way for authorities to give the public a false
sense of security, and I object to both. However, if a hobby
photographers/artist/newsreporter wants to take my picture in public, I
don't object one bit. I guess I prefer being seen by Little Brother, if
you know what I mean...
