pcspb1 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 So the next time someone is on road wars and the police office says " he can do what he likes he's in a public place" in reference to the camera.. that's wrong.. If the person concerned is in a public place there will be no reasonable expectation of privacy, and any issues under Article 8 will only arise when it comes to the publication of the material. Prior to publication, any person with an objection to the footage being aired publicly, has the right to have their identity removed from the footage. Hence on Road Wars, you sometimes/often see faces pixelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandad.Malky Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 He knew what he was doing, he probably has a chip on his shoulder regarding the police. And the police played right into his hands ……….. not very smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alchresearch Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It's an odd things, Labour said it wasn't illegal, several Chief Constables made statements that it isn't illegal, yet it somehow hasn't percolated down to the rest of the police. You're absolutely right. The OP's link is almost a year old, things have changed now. Here's the letter that the chief constable sent to all forces: http://www.newspapersoc.org.uk/Docs/Taking-of-Photographs-All-Forces-Guidance-26-08-2010.doc and an article relating to it at the time. http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/09/09/sussex_police_filming_rights/ It takes time to filter down though but you should see less incidents like this.

Janus Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 [quote=pcspb1;You do not have to give your name and address to any Police Officer, if there is no lawful reason for you to comply with a request for it. However, when a police officer has reasonable grounds to believe an offence has been committed he has the power to arrest anyone who he has reasonable belief to have committed that offence, and then you do have a lawful obligation to supply the information requested regarding your identity. PCspb1,Thank you for your clarification and advice post No8 . Are you able to define what reasonable grounds are? The police in this footage would claim that their grounds for name/address details were reasonable. The photographers would claim the grounds were unreasonable.

upinwath Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 He knew what he was doing, he probably has a chip on his shoulder regarding the police. I'm unsure if he was setting up a 'go' at the cops but he may well have been having go at the prevention of terrorism act. A lot of people, including press photographers and a TV crew, have been arrested for taking photos and it's way out of order. I've been getting into photography (for fun) out here. Cops actively encourage you to take their photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
