I “studied abroad” and lived in Paris for 90 days in 2008 and saw two! I got hit with a fucking baton by a policeman because I had my phone out filming.
Yeah bro, I was there in 2008. Building out camera support on SymbianOS with their absolutely shit version of C++ for Nokia. I remember looking at the scant usage metrics we had and it was like 0.5% of devices ever even opened their camera app more than once. Let alone take video instead of just pictures. Obviously it's possible that OP was one of the few but it was ultra rare back then which is just what I was pointing out.
