I wonder what restrictions can be imposed on residents and be supported in law.
If a ‘webcam’ is banned then is it possible to ban a recording on non-web cam (on a tripod) or a hand held cam or if a resident can see what the cam can see do we stop looking outside of windows? Clearly the last proposal is silly but I see this as a very slippery slope on both sides. There have been lots of proposals but I recall an ABC news item where a homeowner had a security camera that looked over the neighbours property and the neighbours could not do anything about it.
The aspect of social media also arises. If I take pics of some common property event (kids of family members playing in a pool) should there be a restriction on their use with respect to social media? (I’m raising the question, not making a suggestion here).
Camers also bring into play the question of common property v private property v ‘privacy’ property.
Given cameras are cheap and easily set up and now even drones can be used to look into windows then we need, as residents and citizens to ‘watch this space’ (a pun I couldn’t resist).
