What does that have to do with freedom of speech? How is recording people without their consent or knowledge freedom of speech? That sounds absurd to me

The law allows recording of people without consent or knowledge now. From flock cameras to door bell cameras to store cameras your pcture is taken hundreds of times daily. To just restrict glasses can be seen as a freedom of speech issue.
I'm guessing you're in the US; in the UK, door bell cameras are only legally allowed to film your own property.
Aren’t they generally facing out? How do you avoid capturing the street or neighbor’s house in the camera view?
I assume you can adjust the angles so that they only cover your property.
But what part of that has anything to do with free speech? What is the expression that is restricted?
freedom of press. It has to do with freedom of speech, because recording a speech is the counterpart to that. Should I be able to have the freedom to threaten someone with my speech but then have the ability to censor a recording of that?

Sounds absurd only because you don't understand.

Or I have a completely point of view. I’m pretty sure I understand your point and still find it nonsensical
Well then what can I say? I show you the logical connection: 1 + 1 = 2, and you still find it nonsensical then the only conclusion is: you are illogical.
