I thought the whole point of these camera LEDs was to have them wired to/through the power to the camera, so they are always on when the camera is getting power, no matter what.

Having the LED control exposed through the firmware completely defeats this.

I'd like a law to this effect.

We may already have this law. If the manufactures makes claims about this LED, then that this attack is possible mean a lawyer can force them to recall and fix everything.
