I remember in the early 70’s I was communist countries and dictatorships that people could not clearly photograph anything. It was beyond my comprehension of what individual freedom meant. I was also part of a generation that was still taught about the constitution and the foundational beliefs that led to its creation.

And with that background, I am even more appalled at this. That these government officials, can say with a straight face, that it is reasonable to expect “privacy” when performing their job in public is not only an affront to every one else’s personal freedom, but it is also “newspeak”. Public action is private? What are they smoking?

I wonder if I’m allowed to record construction workers, or the guy in the dancing bunny suit trying to get me to turn off to buy his company’s mattresses.

Sheesh!

Who even cares if they're in "public"????? If they're on the clock and being paid with public dollars NOTHING NOWHERE is "private"! I don't want to be an ass about it so I would support on at least a trial basis not installing web-cams in toilet stalls used by public officials, so long as they don't abuse the privilege, but that's about it.
