What about a "private" location such as a supermarket, convenience store or bar?
Technically, those are private businesses that allow customers to enter their premises...

They can do whatever they want. You are in their place of business. Most are recording you from multiple angles. It is illegal for someone to intercept that signal and that's where this law would take effect.What about a "private" location such as a supermarket, convenience store or bar?
This is correct. I can't stop any other citizen from recording me in a public space.

It's still a public space... I can't stop you from recording me in aisle 6.
To clarify, I'm talking a publicly-owned space vs a privately-owned space. An owner can have someone "trespassed" from their store. The city can't really "trespass" someone from the sidewalk. Both places can be under surveillance...
Another invasion of privacy is the chance is very good a cop knocking on your door has his/her bodycam on... I suppose it works both ways because you could have a Ring or CCTV recording THEM. I'm picturing some lefty having a conversation on their Ring with a cop wanting to question them.

That didn't clarify anything. If you're in a privately owned grocery store, and I'm in the same store. I can whip out my phone and record you in aisle 6 without your permission. There is no law stopping me, and you cannot claim "privacy." We are effectively in a public space.
Now, if you complain to the grocery store, THEY can choose to kick me out, perhaps claiming I'm "harassing other customers." Or for any other reason. But YOU can't kick me out or stop me from recording you, nor will you have any legal recourse.
