All you’re doing is showing something in public which is perfectly legal.

no, it is not, showing something in public is often not legal, it - as is often the case - depend on the context.

It doesn’t damage the camera.

it damages the database.

then that’s on them if something bad happens. You have no control over what happens inside of their computer.

no, that is on you, because you made that clearly intentionally malicious input. it is the same as if you had used the keyboard, the input method is really not important.

do you think that if you successfully hack a bank and steal some money you will get away with the defense of "all i did was send your computer some input, sending input to computers is perfectly legal and i really don't have any control over what is going inside it"?

that is 5 year's old idea of how law works.

So what you're saying is that anytime sometime is filming or photographing someone else in public the person being filmed or photographed is

Responsible for what the camera sees

Is a direct user of any database or computer used to process the images

The person filming is allowed to impose restrictions because they are filming other people in public

That doesn't sound quite right to me

So what you’re saying is (...)

no, that is not what i am saying.

That doesn’t sound quite right to me

it would help if you stopped putting fabricated nonsense into other people's mouths. then you wouldn't have to wonder whether that nonsense "sounds quite right."
