    Heres one.

    If you are a citizen You are allowed to film in public or even at your own front door.
    If you should have a confrontation with a police officer you still have to right to film them and they cant stop you free country and all that s it.

    But As a human in public or in your own private home you have the right to object being filmed by another citizen therefore you are denying access to be published in any way to be filmed or photographed. You can also bring them to court.

    So in the intance that im to police officer.
    What i am in life is... a human, in a uniform, with the backing up of several hundred or so law abiding people :pac:
    So even though im helpless as a police officer to arrest you for a non crime can i still bring you to court as a citizen, contesting the fact i dont know you, and you could be any sort of person, and only god knows what strange fantacies you might be doing with a video of me :P:pac:

    :D
    This is a video in relation to my question





    The what if... Series 1 coming to a dvd near you soon!:pac:

    they are rather tight over filming each other here,eg; cant have security cameras on the house which see over the persons private boundary and records random people.
    however,the police dont give a sht over pesky tourists and others meddling on peoples photos.
    strange but they seem to have more laws against taking photos than using airguns innocently.

    Bit of an oxymoron there.

    afaik, the police can ask you to stop filming a potential crime scene just as they have the authority to ask you to leave that potential crime scene.

    You can film for home use but no, not for sale or download. It's not going to be passed much by authorities anymore. Not after Colin Farrell anyaways what:D
    Tell you what though, don't listen to them and post here on boards and we'll all say nothing. We're all best ffriesnts here so.

    Meanwhile in High Wycombe, PC's Chris and Andy run into some SCUMBAGS illegally videotaping a potential crime scene....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 92 ✭✭Chuck was taken


    Something like that happened to me before. I was stopped by the Garda (at a check point) and decided to film it. Then some ban-guard grabbed the camera straight out of my hand's and said I have no right to film in public!!
    So I jumped out of my car and went over to a older man sitting in their van and told him what happened. He came storming over to her and started to shout and tell her she couldn't do that etc etc. As I left I just beeped and gave her a wave to píss her off.

    People were suspicious and afraid photography as it was becoming popular, it was evil but by the time we were growing up we usually didn't question people taking photos in public and the terrible things they would use them for.

    I hope future generations have the same attitude to video recording as they do to photography, If you can see me you can record me unless Im in a vulnerable position (i.e the man that slipped on the ice :D)

    You are not allowed to film a Garda doing their job.

    Uh..yeah, you are. Although they can say they don't want to be filmed. Just point your camera to the ground and record what they say...

    Your Post hurts my brain but I've underlined and bolded your issue's
    I think they contradict each other IF I understand your Engrish and that's a big IF


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,084 ✭✭✭✭Zebra3


    Op,

    This is an Irish website so why talk about a "free country" and post a video from a foreign country when trying to make a point? :confused::confused::confused:

    I *think* I get that bit. Maybe.
    The OP *may * mean that every individual has the right to record events happening around them/people around them, but said person being recorded has the same amount of right to ask not to be filmed/for the recording not to be published.
    IE, a case of the citizen's right to free speech (well, free expression) versus the citizen's right to privacy.

    I don't think that's true though, I think the individual has the ability and the opportunity to record people/events. That doesn't mean they have the right. So in a versus situation, the person being unwillingly recorded is completely within their rights to object.

    As for the rest of the post, I have no clue. :confused::confused:

    You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.

    You are aloud record what you like whilst in public - and so long as what you are recording is in public. (Ie. You are not invading someones privicy by taping through their window) Also, unless they sign a model release then you are not aloud to make any profits from the picture, or use it for any form of advertising.

    Anyone remember 'definethelaw' on youtube. He is now banned but he went around recording things on his ipod. Mostly customer service issues.
