The local IGA has a "wall of shame" where they have photos of thieves.
Lo and behold, there's a picture of my neighbour lol
Fucking hell
Is that legal?
In Victoria we have different laws for privacy with or without audio, I don't think it's unlawful unless the person wishes to take them for VCAT for a false accusation.
It would fall under libel, meaning that they would have unlawfully besmeared your character if they are unable to provide solid proof.
But you would have to initiate a case.
And then Old Mate IGA rocks up with footage of them stealing to the hearing.
