I say let all video and audio recordings (with or without knowledge of the person being recorded) be Constitutional. No more restrictions (unless you are undressed).

As long as you are in public, I agree.
Exceptions: if you are being assaulted, or if you are dead. Then it should just be with permission unless used in a court for prosecution purposes.
Goodbye bathwater, goodbye baby. So, you wouldn't have any problems if at your parent-teacher conferences about one of your children, the teacher surreptitiously records that conversation, and posts it on YouTube?
I can think of hundreds of reasons why what you suggest is a bad idea. I think the standard, "reasonable expectation of privacy" is a sound standard. The problem is it's not be enforced. The threshold were a cop loses his expectation of privacy should be low - perhaps not non-existent, but very low.
