I have a sidewalk that clearly delineates my yard and the sidewalk. Also, I have to maintain the sidewalk, so I’ll record that all I want to. Don’t want the possibility of being recorded on someone’s security camera? Don’t walk in front of people’s houses. Welcome to 2024.
That appears to be a gray area depending where in the EU. If there is signage, the sidewalk is not the primary focus of the video, and the video is not shared, it sounds like it is in legal in a lot of places. Other appear to be more strict. Doorbell cameras appear to widely accepted, for example.
Likely, if I were to ever get around to getting a camera, I’d set motion zones on my property line and record when triggered.
nah, don’t film strangers in public
I’m not the person you replied to, but:
If they’re on my property - which they are of their dog is taking a shit on my lawn - they’re not “in public.”
My yard is not public.
Do you have a fence or trespassing signs?

Laws in the US are weird
There’s no law backing up what they’re saying, it’s just considered common courtesy to pick up your dog’s poop if it poops in someone else’s yard.
