A prominent Rav in London does not let his kids go to Gateshead Yeshiva because the cameras are on over Shabbos.
I fail to understand – there is a psak from the gedolim that walking past a light which operates on a sensor is okay, as long as you don’t need the light. So why is a camera worse – if anything, the light you are TURNING ON, whereas the camera will be recording whether you are there or not? What issur is there to be photographed on Shabbos?
