It's a complete invasion of privacy to use camera footage from a robo-taxi, even if the objective is to prosecute a crime.

I wouldn't say so, it depends what the camera footage is recording. If it is a footage of inside the cabin then that is an invasion of privacy, if it is a footage of outside then it isn't an invasion of privacy since outside is public.

In other news, Hive is recovering BTC wise but it still is below 200 sats.

In the US the Supreme Court decided in 2018 (Carpenter v. United States) that people have a reasonable expectation of privacy even out in public. It relates to the Fourth Amendment and specifically states that people have a right to privacy against the government even while out in public. We should not be recorded whenever we step outside our homes, that is an invasion of privacy... one that the Plantir government contracts are probably totally going to break.

This is not true at all. Carpenter v United States only decided that accessing CLSI data without a search warrant was unconstitutional. And it re-iterated that this only applies to CLSI data.

This decision is narrow. It does not express a view on matters
not before the Court; does not disturb the application of Smith and
Miller or call into question conventional surveillance techniques and
tools, such as security cameras; does not address other business records that might incidentally reveal location information; and does not
consider other collection techniques involving foreign affairs or national security. Pp. 17–18.

Hmmm, sorry about that... looks like I completely misunderstood that case. Is there truly no right to privacy in public in the US? You can just be recorded by anyone as soon as you step off private property? That's super not cool.

It looks like Californians have rights to not be recorded without permission for commercial use, otherwise they're fair game.

Of course, states have their own laws regarding that.

My understanding is that if a person can see what you are doing in public then a camera also should be able to see what you are doing. If a person can see what you are doing in public then it is a reasonable expectation that you do not have privacy in that manner.

Could that be changed? Probably. For example, it is illegal to record people in public in France.
