The phrasing of the headline is terrible. There is nothing special about bruxelles when it comes to invasions of privacy.
This has the character of Muslim left standing on train station, for they were late for the train. Extra information that is not relevant for the case is oft distraction and at times discrimination.
Also being filmed as a passerby in a public space is usually not something you can protect yourself from. Only when you, in particular, are being filmed stuff gets gross. I am very well aware that this is what happened. But you should use specific language in headlines to paint an accurate image of reality.
Belgian law is a lot more strict than all the comments saying "cAnT dO mUcH iN pUbLiC". In fact, you can, and we did. You're not allowed to film people in public if they are the subject/focus. It's clear cut.
That's what I said in part.
