Legal issues with filming/photo in public?!

2 posts in this topic

   Because last time I checked, filming/photo in public spaces is allowed legally in most western democracies, but illegal if in privately owned land where permit is needed, and in baths or homes where reasonable exposure to public is very low. So what's the problem here then? From a bunch of Chinese tourists?

   However, are there moral/ethical issues? IMO it'll depend, take for example:

   Is this moral/ethical to you, in how he filmed and how he communicated? Do you think there's some coercion or him baiting?

Also, interesting video here:

   I do like this video here:

   IMO I do mostly agree with this guy's take on the whole situation, albeit maybe bias due to Charlie Veitch here and others asking him to cover this. I'll briefly argue for both sides here within that situation, and this guy's take. From the woman's point of view, I can understand and empathize a bit because I've witnessed a conflict between part of my family and a neighbor get into some dispute over our fence  and hedge. The guy trying to chop our conifer hedge, some of the branches out so that in his view, he could replace his fence. However, he never made contact, and never knocked on our door to ask for permission or let us know he'd do it so he just took action. I let one of my family members know, and followed behind shortly, and even though some of our branches were a bit tall and a bit over, it wasn't obstructing his fence project, and it quickly escalated into shouting between my parents and THAT GUY, and luckily that guy backed off and his wife chilled him down, and ever since I have never forgiven him and mostly kept one eye on him and his side. What I'm trying to say is that it can be difficult to remain calm and rational and civil, when you see some neighbor or in this case a complete stranger on YOUR PRIVATE LAND, so thinking in terms of male centrism here, as if she should've remained calm felt a bit projecting and immature from this bald guy, yet I don't disagree with him yet he's still wrong in judging her and taking his side. Also observing that clip from her she's on  her bicycle and has a dog, no visual of conceal carry or weapon, so best guess is she NEVER expected to see a stranger there, and was caught surprised, and now is in a state of panic/defensiveness/distress, from general body language and tonality from her. The bald guy tries to reframe and downplay her reaction to a stranger filming, but I'd counter argue that and say she might have also, on top of feeling him trespassing, camera fright, that she'd be filmed and now god knows how many viewers are seeing her and how many eyes are on her, which adds onto her distress and defensiveness.

   And this guy Charlie Veitch...let's just say he's one of those reactionaries making stupid political commentaries, and is quite opinionated, and yes I have a bit biased against him here. First of all, what business does he have on HER PRIVATE LAND? Just based on verbals and tonality, also have seen snippets of this guy's face and body language in his past videos when it comes to social interactions, also in conflicts he's body language has this satire or sarcasm energy, not nonchalant but more like condescending, as if it's the other person's fault, like that?
