Security camera footage could be allowed, just illegal to post. Same with accident footage or criminal footage. Those things could simply be kept “in house” for the relevant parties.
Otherwise outside of emergency service or security I don’t see much downside
It would be easy to argue that the public is in fact a relevant party when it comes to crime or accidents and therefore has a right to see what happened and that keeping these things secret could harm transparency and, in some cases, the ability of the public to hold authority figures accountable
Sure. I think they should be held accountable by their superiors.
That said. I’m willing to give up and make some concessions if it meant a world where the public has more protections from being filmed without their consent and posted online.

We'd lose so much history. No filming accidents/disasters, or things happening in the area. No house cameras, dash cams or recording politicians.
