Technically, "automatically" would mean it gets sent all the time, while "without consent" would mean it might've got sent on request, just without consent.
"Automatically" would be a perfectly reasonable word choice if a request from the police is granted without interaction. In all honesty even if a human has to send it, if the process doesn't allow them any kind of autonomy or authority to decline the request, that probably qualifies, too.

Fair enough. In both cases, it's without the camera "owner" consenting, and that's the main problem.

Hm, I guess you're right. That's an interesting reflection on the concept of "automation".
I think automated means "no human". I don't think automatic necessarily does, especially if humans don't have agency.
