    I don’t see how. The premise of these cameras is that anybody is allowed to film in public. All you’re doing is showing something in public which is perfectly legal. It doesn’t damage the camera. If they decide to use the image from their camera to enter text into a database, then that’s on them if something bad happens. You have no control over what happens inside of their computer. It’s no different than someone blindly copy pasting commands into their Linux terminal and deleting system 32.

      As far as I’m aware cybercrime is generally: “anything done maliciously involving a computer” intentionally sticking a drop table command over your plates because you’re expecting something to read your plate and input it into a db might count.

        No, because it is a widly known meme and would be considered free speech as satire. Since you did not access the system, there is no crime. If a person was manually entering license plates and entered it into a database, would it be your fault? No, you had no control over that person’s actions, and no reasonable person would mistake that as a licence plate. If a computer enters it on its own, then that is also not your fault, the programmer is responsible. You have no responsibility to know how a system handles its database inputs in order to avoid messing it up.

      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.”
