    There should be a law ensuring that the entire video is shown in context including build up and the history of the person who is taking it.....

    Was drawn to this article in the Times this morning: http://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/garda%C3%AD-want-to-ban-people-taking-and-sharing-their-pictures-1.3042615

    Now I'm all for one's privacy but surely this infringes on citizen's rights in some way? I'd lose a lot of trust in the gardaí if I knew they could be up to anything without being able to be exposed by a member of the public?

    I believe, what they want is a ban on photos and videos being used to name and identity individual members on social media and the like.
    All evidence of any wrongdoing can always be used in the correct way using correct channels.
    That's fair enough imo.

    That's exactly what the AGSI said on Newstalk. No issue of recording duties in public.

    It is totally wrong IMO to name publicly a member of AGS on social media or whatever.

    Again we'll be named in court cases and no issue there. This motion was most likely put forward for debate due to the issues around water meter protests (not the national ones, local heated ones) and issues around the west of ireland with a protest group. It has it's merits but probably not worded/reported correctly.
