Some sort of ID  has to incorporated into or broadcast from each individual
/thing and
the recording devices must seek out a "tag"  for these pieces of information
or they will record
the data faithfully, but simply modify the regurgitation with privacy
protocals.  Authorities may have an override on these protocals for law
enforcement uses.

Consider the ways already used to selectively filter unauthorized use of
information by simply reducing the quality or resolution of the reused
output.

-The blurring of television  images of faces within otherwise normal video.
-The garbeling of voices from whom privacy is requested
-The introduction of low resolution/scrambling  into GPS signals for
civilian use.

Yes you will be able to record everything, but you may not be able to show
it in any usable fashion
without permission tags from those whose information you recorded.

Printed matter with RFID tags in the book binding  would refuse to convert
to text or be re-broadcast in a readable fashion unless the recording system
sensed a permission for free use
signal............etc
