Can a strata restrict the use of dash cameras?
British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from The Owners, Strata Plan 1769 v. Dagenais, 2020 BCCRT 957 (CanLII):
30. I also note that in the non-binding decision of Kuan et al v. The Owners, Strata Plan NW 2603, 2019 BCCRT 802, a CRT member found that a bylaw limiting video surveillance and photography was valid. The bylaw said that an owner could not take pictures or video of any person or thing without the expression permission of that person or the strata council. The CRT member found that the bylaw was valid, and dash cameras violated the bylaw, unless they were off while driving on and off common and limited common property.
