| Do you think it’s a violation of privacy or ethics to let your cat roam around the neighborhood with a camera on its collar, especially if it goes into other people’s backyards? |

| Are they cameras or gps trackers? The latter is much, much more common. |

| Why would it be? There's no expectation of privacy when you're outdoors. As for going into yards, that's on you |

You mean if the cat takes recordings of people in pools or people in their homes with uncovered windows?
Yes that might be problem. |

| I am thinking ofvtraining a cat to climb up to house windows to peer inside. Then put a camera on her. |

| Don’t want your car wandering in my yard. Never understood why people think this makes sense. |

| I don’t mind cats wandering into my backyard. What I would strongly oppose is a neighbor recording my private conversations using a camera or microphone on their cat. |

And I spend a lot of time in my backyard. |

| People who let their cats roam the neighborhood are the worst. They really should not have cats. |

| This topic should be moved to the Off-topic forum as it relates to people who don’t own cats. |

| I would not be happy if a cat came into my back yard and was recording me. I understand that I don’t have an expectation of privacy in my backyard but it’s not unreasonable to expect privacy from someone recording me while on my property. |
