In two-party states, you need all parties to be aware (not necessarily or usually consent, just aware). However, there's a grey area when it comes to cameras in your face. If a camera isn't hidden, that can be interpreted as consent in some places, in others it's not.

There's certain privacy laws with expectation of privacy, so you can't hide a camera in the washroom or take pictures of people going up the escalators, but that's not the same situation here at all.

And just think of all the Calgary videos on transit, or in public, or pretty much anywhere were the person being recorded doesn't want to be.
I am not familiar with us laws, didnt realize the sens were there. Was thinking Canada. Wow that is brutal privacy legislation... That is not the case here. You need consent to record someone... Like even a doctor for example many people think they have a right to record

The calgary transit stuff, they can record if they've done a privacy review making sure they keep the data safe and have authority to record under some piece of legislation but they could never disclose it unless they have consent or there is a public safety concern or some other express authorization in an act so you're not really at risk there if you're an average joe ripping on your boss.
