It's also just not very nice. It is ok to be nice to people. Do unto others and all that.

And before I get called naive, courts do look very favorably upon defendants that are nice.






I completely agree. Involuntary bailee in the UK is one of the nastier parts of the law (IMO) it penalises you for being a decent person and gives the power to the asshole. It’s ripe for abuse.

It's not nice to stick eyeballs under people's vestiments. It's not nice to put hands on a stranger. Bad faith actions can be responded to without malice but there is no need to be nice. Non consentual cameras in a private dwelling are never good faith.

why would anyone leave such a system running?

Maybe it’s a prepaid annual membership and the owner forgot/died/didn’t cancel?
