Reporter: Eevoltic
Reason: trolling. they keep replying to every comment saying the first ammendment or some other US thing is more important than privacy lol

Imagine reporting someone for actually contributing to the conversation. Imaging thinking that other countries don't already have similar laws in place. Don't you wonder how security cameras are a thing for businesses across literally the entire world?

Just because I outline what specific laws the US follow to allow it doesn't mean other countries don't allow it either. This is not a US centric problem. I would challenge you to find a country that DOESN'T Allow you to record your own property. Or I suppose you can just cry to more mod-mail.
