I know from work with CCTV that there is "no expectation of privacy in a public place". So, a relevant question would be "is a public meeting a public place". I think the answer has to be "yes", which would lead to the conclusion that if you attend a public meeting you have no expectation of privacy.
Or is there a flaw in that line of thinking ?

I remember one council who set up live webcasts in their registry office to capture and transmit worldwide all civil weddings they performed. Following an objection from a young woman who was marrying against her parents' wishes, they decided that the policy would be changed. Now, if anyone objects (bride, groom or guest) the camera is turned off.
Article 8 of ECHR immediately springs to mind but whether that would apply to a public meeting I'm not sure. As Principle 8 may apply (if the processing falls under DPA) then I would be struggling to find an exemption that allows it without explicit consent from each person caught on the webcam(s).
