Professor Offers $100 Reward for Finding Privacy-Compliant Camera
A University of Toronto professor is offering $100 to anyone who can show him a business-operated surveillance camera that complies with Canada’s privacy laws, but it’s harder to earn that $100 than you might think, Metro Toronto reports.
Professor Andrew Clement, coordinator of the Information Policy Research Program and the University of Toronto organized the program to call more attention to the privacy laws, which can differ between provinces and between the public and private sector. According to the Metro Toronto article, Canada’s privacy commission has summed up the requirements businesses have when recording people’s images in a public area – including a sign informing people that they are being recorded.
