Is there an expectation of privacy when in public spaces in the EU?
"expectation of privacy" is a US-specific legal standard that doesn't apply on much of the EU. In many countries, you can't just record someone without their permission or some other permission, regardless of their expectation of privacy.
what happens if you record say, a tree and someone walks in frame..when what? is it the camera person's fault, or the one walking.
I don't know, I'm not that much of a legal expert. My guess would be in most places you're just supposed to delete it or not use it.
