Understood. But can you see the FO in the video? Is there anyway to prove who he is? Do you know if the CA asked his FO if this was okay and what his response was? Do you know if it was a jumpseater who asked the crews' permission if he could mount the camera?
Seems like your making a lot of assumptions. Maybe you should worry less about things you don't know about.

Pilots Can't Stop Cockpit Video Forever
Bloomberg 10/8/15
"Since 2000, the NTSB has recommended that the Federal Aviation Administration require cockpit cameras. The Air Line Pilots Association, North America’s largest flight crew union, has opposed the change, arguing that video can be misleading, especially where it’s not clear whether a pilot is fighting a malfunction or causing a plane to lose control. The money spent on cameras would be better invested in training and other safety measures, the union says. “Cameras in the cockpit will not prevent a single accident,” ALPA President Tim Canoll said in a statement.
An FAA spokesman referred to letters the agency has sent the NTSB saying that it has no plans to revise its policy on cockpit cameras. At least one U.S. lawmaker, Florida Republican Representative John Mica, says he’ll push for a cockpit video requirement next year, when Congress is scheduled to pass legislation reauthorizing the aviation agency."

Scabs always have a special reason for doing things.

The FAA has made it clear that videos like this will not be tolerated. There was even a national news piece about pilots who put cockpit pictures on their social media accounts.
I also remember the woman who died in her F14 fighter had made a video about how easy it was to fly her previous jet. That video made the news after her death at the controls of the fighter during a recovery.
The point is this, while on the job keep your photos and videos to yourself. While it may seem cool to strut your stuff and get millions of views, without prior authorization and permission from all stakeholders you will eventually get burned.
Don't be a Getline!

You've never violated any company policy or FAA policy? If it's a company policy fine but I think people are freaking out a bit for no reason. When the rules were written I'm sure they weren't thinking about go pro cameras, rather handhelds thinking one guy would be shooting himself while flying waving at the camera! It's one dude with a clip on camera that's not prohibiting him in any way of doing his job, he just wants to maybe record something for his friends and family.

Or emailing it to anyone. Your friend or relative doesn't know FARs and they'll post it on Facebook or it will get forwarded to an ever widening group of people, one of whom will post it. Once you hit send you've lost control of it.
