hello all,
I was in discussion with someone who has the idea that recording in public is illegal, there are many examples : such as dashcam in cars (video and sound), would that be considered illegal? also, recording while walking in the street or in a park (with sound) would that be considered illegal?
I saw lots of videos on Youtube where so called "Auditors" go and record people and staff of the force (police government etc...) in the streets and in the work place, and they try to get that staff engaged in a why so they can sue them, I understand that it is different in the USA than in Australia, but I like to know how much of that is applicable in Australia, so can you record a police officer while in duty in the streets or as they are working (like going into a building to respond to a call etc...), so As the public of Australia, do we have that authority?
I understand that you can not record a meeting (voice with/without video) in a work place but what about recording people in a public area or place such as in the street or the park, or the train station or in the train etc...
I would appreciate if any person can shed some light on this subject, it is good to have sound knowledge about it,
thanks,
