I don't think that really draws a line under anything, does it? 

As far as this thread goes, yes it does, the question was "is this an arrestable offence now" and the answer is yes, it already was.

It's up to the CPS and Courts to decide on the outcome of this specific case though.

But that's a different scenario. We are talking about the main aim is to film women. 

 

 

 

I'm talking about the impact of bringing in new legislation and the reality of how it could be used against us.

No, because all the nuances brought up in this thread still remain. Your quote changes none of that. Many definitions are thrown around in that quote that are open to interpretation to render it meaningless. And there are a spectrum of situations that you could try to apply that blanket quote to.

 

Also, I don't have a clue who it was you quoted, or if there are differing interpretations (I assume you just googled something to specifically try to prove your point, with no balance).

probably will just mean you can't go round filming women without their consent outside bars and clubs and posting it on youtube or tiktok for money....which is a shame.

As already mentioned there is probably existing legislation that can be used if your being a real pest though saying that, that Charles Veitch chap who has already been mentioned and is obviously looking to create confrontations to monitise. I'm amazed he doesnt get nicked more often.

The audits are everywhere.

 

 I quite enjoy DJ audits who goes round industrial estates and films with his drone and gets confronted, probably says a lot about me. 😄

 

He knows every aspect of public filming, which in turn runs rings around the police. Which is chucklesome and there incompetency.

and when they nick him we can have another thread about scary police state bastards and these poor freedom fighter vigilantes with their cameras and terrified men confronted by prostitutes and how people need to clean up after their dogs.

They have twice, sued one police force. I've not seen all his videos, but twice the ones I've seen. Questioned by the police multiple times also. 

 

His doing a great service, auditors give the public there legal rights on public filming and drone flying. 

 

Always carry the public filming law in your bag whilst you are out, always.

You're a bit clueless, really aren't you? After the talk of people flashing in the backstreets, I mentioned a recent story of how I was made to feel very uncomfortable in a similar setting. Was I terrified? No. Was I concerned a cop car would come around the corner and accuse me of something? Yes, definitely. I shouldn't have been put in that situation when simply meeting up with some mates for a gig.

 

How would you have felt? Delighted?

Yes it must have been very traumatic

Nope. It was uncomfortable and worrying. I don't know why you keep bringing it up though. I wasn't making a point with the story, I was just sharing because someone was saying something similar that reminded me.

 

What are you hoping to achieve? Is it just an opportunity to be sarcastic, or wind someone up? You're not making a coherent point, that's for sure. You haven't made one in this whole discussion as far as I can tell.

The link is provided. It takes you to the law firms website. 

 

You’re clearly here looking for an argument, so I think I’ll leave you to it. As I said, my interest in the thread is no more, the original question has been answered, I’m satisfied the police have the tools needed to deal with these incidents, and that there will not necessarily need to be a change in the law, so that concludes any constructive conversation on the original subject, at least as far as I’m concerned. 🙂

I watch DJ too, and I've seen him blur many many people on request. I think he even has a public contact email address. 

Sensible.

It's about respect, if someone asks me to delete I comply.

 

All my street photography is B&W stuff, it's about reading the room. 

 

For example.

Yes, always do. Always provide my business card to arrange emailing shots. 

 

Heres another one from that specific day.

Well, I'm never getting my camera out again based on this thread.
