I think you're overreaching a bit there Wayne. We are recorded all over the place without prior permission, you can't walk down the street in the city without being recorded.
You may have a point about places where there is an expectation of privacy, say a toilet, change room, your room in a hotel, or a room in a brothel, but elsewhere is open slather.
These guys are arseholes though, and make it harder for the rest of us.
