Thinking the reverse - per the details posted this could be an interesting SHTF bag or two to have on hand with some 2way radios, a red dot, batteries, etc to be protected in case of an EMP.

Yikes! Tesla spying on customers!

Those employees who stole the videos and published them could be prosecuted. It read like these were UK employees. Even worse. UK privacy laws are a lot broader than the US. It wouldn't surprise me if they are charged with theft of intellectual property.

Before I left the rat race, an intern I was assigned to manage revealed to me at a team happy hour that she was recording all conversations on the phone and in meetings. Internal and with clients. She thought nothing of this. It did not occur to her 20 year old brain that this is not only unprofessional, it's a felony to covertly record people in most states. Not to mention, major clients fire agencies for things like that. The impudent little snit would not accept that there was anything wrong with this. I fired her the next day. HR advised the young woman that she was in violation of her employment agreement. The clever HR person asked her to delete everything on her phone right then and there. If she refused, her university would be notified and she could be prosecuted or subject to civil litigation if any of the conversations she collected on the job were misused or shared.

She complied.
