The closest thing I've seen that's similar to this is go pro videos of someone walking on an exotic beach, and is titled as such ("Walking in Miami Beach" or something like that). There are lots of women in bikinis, and I think that might've been the main reason for the video. BUT, it was also just some person walking on the beach, which could be useful for potential holiday goers. So should be assume the worst?

 

I assume it was a guy taking the video, but it could've been a woman. I don't know if the gender or the sexual orientation of the person has an impact of whether the action is right or wrong. A woman would get just as many clicks from such a video as a man...then we go down the rabbit hole of 'what is gender?' lol

You mean like this one.

I think the 'highlights reel' at the start makes the video's intentions clear enough, don't they? 

And it's a bloke, a bloke who lives (or at least studied) in Sweden, as his older 'student days' videos are still up.

 

If you think this is acceptable behaviour then we're probably never going to agree. I 'believe' that in Spain you also need to ask permission to film somebody in public, if you're close to the subject and they're recognisable or if you single out a subject. So this act in itself is seemingly illegal(*). I don't think this will come under 'right to panorama,' but then again, with no actual understanding of Spanish law, I don't really know. Point is, it's these kinds of stricter restrictions that I am worried this behaviour will lead to in the UK.

But it seems like you're saying they're ashamed because they're wearing a certain type of clothing. Are you saying they wouldn't feel ashamed if they were well covered up?

You were the one that said it.

No, you tried to put those words in my mouth a few times during this discussion. But what you don't realise is that if you're saying these videos should only be illegal if the woman is wearing a certain thing, it's you who is making a distinction based on clothing. Women should be able to wear what they want, and for it not to affect the law. If the law needs to change, so be it.

jeez, ok whatever. Let's see how this case goes, if it ever becomes a case.

It's hard to police up imagine. I've done street photography in Barcelona, no issues.
