Re Ring cameras: as usual the actual story is more complicated - the ruling wasn't just about a basic Ring camera pointed at a shared area, it was a huge set of various cameras over a lot of shared areas with precise audio pickup over them all.

Your standard Ring camera pointed at a reasonable area outside your front door is fine, because both the relevant legislation and the ruling (which isn't binding on any other court anyway) accept you have a legitimate interest in data collection from that area.

...and a pile of harrassment and lying. The reportage of this case has been pretty rubbish (which is presumably why you can now read the judgment, which paints are rather different picture)
