When I was in Denmark I was shocked how many cameras there were, everywhere. I mean not just in the city, but everywhere on the countrywide.
Also Denmark is one of those weird countries where its illegal to have your map software tell you where the speed cameras are.
In general, it feels like Denmark loves panoptic surveillance.
That is not true at all. The police has even officially recommended the use of speed trap avoidance software. We even have an entire market of it, most notably with Saphe that's probably the world's biggest producer of traffic alarms.
That's a good thing. Just drive below or at the speed limit?
Edit: Lots of speeding assholes around here, it seems 🤷
It shouldn't be illegal to share easy to find information. What next, are you going to make illegal to give someone directions to the local bar?
It's not illegal to share the information, it's illegal to have your nav software automatically tell you that there is a speed trap.
That's sharing information
I've lived in Denmark for decades. The only cameras I see are basically surveillance cameras in stores etc and speed cameras. I see more cameras in most other countries I go to.
We have nothing compared to fx. London.
Where did you see cameras?
That's not correct. You can even buy gadgets for this in many stores.
Sounds like you haven't lived in Denmark for a while. Homes have cameras, beaches have cameras, forests have cameras, roads have cameras
You can't read.
