It’s not apathy, it’s an observation of the legal status of the situation.
Legally, you have no reasonable expectations of privacy in a public space, and as such anyone is free to record you. I don’t think fingerprint data being collected from devices available to the public has been tried in court yet, but audio and video recordings certainly have been.
It’s actually a good thing. Imagine if it was illegal for you to video cops.
This university is in Canada, genius. Those are the laws in Canada.
