You make it sound like the National Data Protection Commission warnings of it being unconstitutional a minor thing....

If you read the commission comments on the law you will see several examples of how the video surveillance systems in Portugal are miss managed and abused.

This law opens the door to the use of AI in these systems and with all it's ethical issues.

After all, Portugal is not an unsafe country and local politicians are abusing the false sense of security that the video surveillance systems bring to win a few more votes, disregarding all the medium and long term consequences.
