Yes. No matter for personal collection or post on youtube la.
但若是目擊交通意外或是有人偷竊﹐拍下作為證據﹐就很應該。。。
Also agree. But if this kind of evidence didn't hand over to related officials but instead still keeping it for personal collection or post on youtube, still no good.
I assume you're talking about most general cases, so I voted "wrong".
I don't think it's the act of recording that's the problem. It's more like the intention and purpose of recording that's important.
If the intention is for constructive reasons, whether if it's constructive to you personally (evidence during car accident), or constructive for the public (taser incident), I think that's fine.
However if the intention is just to laugh at others' mistake, to expose other people's secret, but it nets no greater good for society other than making the subject embarrased and a good laugh for the internet users, it's sad and it's horrible. A good example would be the "Star Wars Kid's video" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Kid).
Even worse, as just some odd internet citizen, do we really have the right to criticize others merely based on a video? There are plenty of prior incidents, notably and easily recalled would be "巴士阿叔事件" and "韓國狗屎女". I am not that good in wording things, so instead I'll quote 2 blog commentaries to try to get my points across:

I totally agree with you.
In public area, everything we do affect the public, so we should behave responsibly.
