Ridiculous!
That would make all OC CCTVs on common property illegal!
In Australia, generally, you can take photos of anyone or anything from public property areas (even if those people/things are on private property). This is how a lot of the media get “private” photos today. It’s only when you are on private property that taking photos restrictions can apply.
And for OCs it’s similar – so unless the OC passed a specific rule to prohibit it on common property, it’s fine.
