A US law is shaped by what we think is

1) acceptable behavior

2) enforceable, practically

I think video recording laws are largely influenced by 2).

I can angle my Ring camera to my smoking hot neighbor so I can record her doing yardwork. Creepy AF (breaks rule 1) but at what angle is it not obviously deliberate? Turned 10 degrees toward her lawn? 30?

Point being, I think US recording laws are too liberal but we need a defineable limit for privacy.

Maybe photon distance? Capturing photons traveling further than 30m into the aperture is invasive? (half kidding)
