    Buddy, have you been on Aliexpress recently? It’s trivial to wire tiny cameras all over your body if you really wanted.

    Not that it matters, I can point an 8K cinema camera at you in public, and you don’t legally get a say.

      This isn’t the case everywhere. Some places have laws with likeness rights if you try to use the footage in commercial productions.

      Two-party consent states also attach legal consequences to secret voice recordings.

      This is strictly legally speaking. People can and do violate the law.
