Contradictory concepts about cameras and filming in public

I have written about this very subject several times before, but it just never ceases to amaze and amuse me when I see it again and again.

I was watching a so-called "First Amendment auditing" video, when a Karen drove to the auditors and angrily declared to them that "you cannot record minors without their consent."

What makes this kind of thing the most amusing, and interesting, is that the exact same Karen quite clearly has no concern whatsoever about the myriads of cameras that are attached to walls, ceilings, poles and cars, even when she has absolutely no idea where that footage is going.

If I could, I would really and honestly want to question her about this. Why does she think it's acceptable and permissible to "record minors" with cameras that are attached to walls and even private cars (which she quite clearly seems to accept because she quite clearly isn't getting a hissy-fit about those), while strongly opposing it if the camera is being held by a person? What exactly is the difference?

More particularly, I would ask her that if "you cannot record minors without their consent", then why are all those cameras attached to the scenery and cars allowed? It would be interesting and amusing to witness her mental gymnastics.

People always assume that cameras attached to walls and poles are "security cameras" and they have just learned to respect them and accept them without question, even though they have absolutely no idea who actually owns those cameras or where the footage is going.

Moreover, in this day and age more and more cars have cameras. Not just dash cameras (many having front and rear dash cameras), but self-driving cars can have a dozen cameras all around. These people don't seem to be very concerned about those either.

I genuinely find this psychological phenomenon interesting and curious: Why are the exact same people who are highly concerned about a camera that's being held by a person (and sometimes outright think it's illegal) not concerned at all about cameras that are attached to the scenery or cars? What is the difference?

I wish First Amendment auditors pressured these people more for an answer.
