Whenever I walk past a Tesla, I know it might be recording me, can be used to identify me, using its multitude of cameras and other sensors that stream everything to the mothership when in the so-called Sentry mode. Why do we accept this invasion of privacy? Why is it even allowed? And what do other car companies do?

Why this is funny. When I walk home I often see cars illegally parking on the sidewalk. But should I dare taking pictures of that and publishing them here, it is considered to be an invasion of privacy in Germany, unless I make the license plates and other recognisable artefacts of the cars unrecognisable.

Which is a perversion of jurisdiction in its own right. Of course, when an object is left on the street, it must be legal to photograph it and publish the pictures. It is public space.

@CGdoppelpunkt @jwildeboer I don‘t think so. It is a case of interest for neighbours and the neighbourhood only. But to present such stupid honks here? It's not nice to denounce someone. Everyone knows how stupid drivers can be. They're always sitting in their cars and letting them run, blocking bike paths, taking the right of way away from motorcyclists. The "reporting" reminds me of what this weird guy does. This „Anzeigenhauptmeister“ (https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anzeigenhauptmeister).
