In my country, there are harsh regulations on public cameras. Private people are not even allowed to capture you outside from being in the background.



Could be a scam, but the guy has a Dutch accent and talks about privacy, so it's probably fine.

Which country is that?


A member of the European Union, there are strong regulations for all countries here.
