Is the camera aimed at a US naval base? A screen shot from the video seems to show otherwise.
It looks to me like the camera is aimed at the bay, not the base itself.
As Bahrami says, the camera wasn't a problem until he captured the incident.

A San Diego man whose livestream captured two U.S. Navy ships nearly colliding in the local harbor has been ordered by the military branch to take the cameras down.
Barry Bahrami says he was told by the Navy Criminal Investigative Service and National Park Service that he cannot have a live stream because it shows military activity in the area.
The man told one local San Diego outlet that his group has been filming for a decade, but was only ordered after the near-miss incident was captured.
'We were there for 10 years and then to suddenly make up a reason to take them down, that's just bologna I don't think anyone believes that,' Bahrami told FOX 5.
'Now we have government censorship simply out of spite because we showed something they didn't like,' Bahrami said
Bahrami runs a group called San Diego Web Cam which provides live stream feeds across the San Diego area.
In November, one of Bahrami's cameras caught two Navy ships in the San Diego Bay nearly colliding in an incident of 'Warship Chicken.'
After the video gained online attention, the National Park Service reached out to him on the Navy's request, instructing him to take the cameras down.
The cameras were positioned at the Cabrillo National Monument in Point Loma

Put them on private property.
Problem solved.

I’m not sure its such a good idea to have cameras broadcasting worldwide activity at a US naval base in real time anyway.
Yep
It’s not like anyone and the local weatherman can’t have a cam showing local weather over the bay and north island. In today’s day, this ruling by the navy is pointless.
If the camera is on public space, I side with the Navy.
Probably but I understand their position.
Hey, our woke military is fantastic ... Austin and Milley are doing a fantastic job of surrendering to any country that hates us.
“I’m not sure its such a good idea to have cameras broadcasting worldwide activity at a US naval base in real time anyway”.
The Chinese and Russian satellites don’t agree with you.
Once they confiscate the guns they will start on cameras.
This guy is just getting harassed for widely sharing a Navy f’up
Imagine how foolish the Russians and Chinese felt when they realize they could’ve gotten the same info for the cost of an internet subscription.
I think mounting a camera in a permanent location may be an issue. If someone wants to be out there with the camera I don’t think there would be an issue. Who knows though, this could end up in court and he might have a case against government censorship.
I’m not denying its impracticality I am saying I understand why the navy felt compelled to remove the camera.
I hate cameras everywhere.
As helpful as they have been with crimes and such—I still wish this trend wouldn’t have started.
It is what it is.
If the camera has been there for ten years broad casting on the internet I can not believe that it has escaped the notice of the Navy all of this time.
More than one naval officer knew that the camera was there,
Certainly Navy Intelligence knew it was there.
No, the camera was not a problem until the Navy embarrassed itself for all the world to see.
Yep, best to let out adversaries do that on their own dime. Cameras are tiny, cheap, and plentiful these days.
Our woke Navy is just covering their asses.

Tell the military to confine it’s operations to drag queens and queers and they can shut the heck up..
