Guy on the bus this morning

joe316 · 17-09-2008 10:18AM #1

I THINK I spotted this middle aged dude taking pics of some school girl on the bus this morning. I didnt want to do anything cos tbh I was only suspicious about it, there was a click of the camera on his phone but cant be sure it was in her direction but that was only once (bout 75% sure), I didnt hear it again. If he had of done it again I would def have done summit, didnt want to go accusing some dude of "you know what" without any concrete proof.

What would you have done? I dont know whether I should regret not doing anything now.

oh before anyone mentions, it wasnt synper

Christ do people not realise you can turn off the sound the camera phones makes?

joe316 · 17-09-2008 10:23AM

Not on every phone especially the sony ones, supposedly this was a major issue in japan with dudes taking pics up schoolgirls skirts on the tube.

FFS OP - this is the kind of crap that will be in the Sunday World and have every paretn terrified of sending their kids to school on a bus.

You go to the gaurds and the guards are goign to ask you the exact same question I will: What exactrly would you like him to be charged with?

I'd Have made a big obvious deal of taking his photo then throw him a nice smile and see what he did

Sony Ericcson chargers are hard to find alright. This is a good question.

Oh and for any budding pervs out there - if you put your phone on silent it generally kills the camera click sound. (Even Sony Ericcsons - is that the phone of choice for leering old men?)

Do you know how incriminating this sounds?

;):p

joe316 · 17-09-2008 10:28AM

Thats what i was thinking, is there no infringement to people's privacy or summit? Can go about saying he's a peadophile just cos he took a few pics, was just just a bit uncomfortable bout it all.

All CIE busses are equipped with CCTC, the latest ones have 7 internal cameras and 1 foreword facing. The pervert taking these photos will be on record. Contact CIE with the time and number of the bus and they should have a recording if it and can pursue the matter if necessary.

joe316 · 17-09-2008 10:35AM

Suppose the fact that the dude had a Peado Bear mask on heightened my suspicions

Did he smell bad and have a hump? And a weird eye? All those paedos look and smell weird. It's never someone known to the family. Ever.

joe316 · 17-09-2008 10:41AM

He had that tell tell sign of a peado, the full beard.

PurpleBerry · 17-09-2008 10:42AM

Oh, come on Joe, you're not looking at the most obvious answer. Immediately your mind springs to paedophile (I won't comment on that can 'o' worms) but there could be several legitimate reasons for the scenario which you described.

Perhaps this man is embroiled in a bitter divorce. The child could be either his child or grandchild, it can be hard to tell in these crazy modern times. If he's the grandchild, he could just want a nice picture of his favourite (or only) grandchild and his crazy son in law won't let them see each other because of all the nastiness with the gardener. Now Old Mattie is afraid he'll never see his beloved Susie again so he sneaks a picture, so that he can remember the happier times.

Or, he could be the child's father and is gathering evidence of the poor kids bruises to use in the custody case as proof of his ex as an unfit mother.

Or perhaps this child looks exactly like the child that was snatched from him many years ago. Unable to believe the sight in front of him he sneaks a photo, to show his ailing wife who has never gotten over the terrible loss of thier own beloved child.

Or perhaps he is a casting director, and he has spotted the next Julia Roberts. Knowing that he needs permission but not wanting to risk the child walking out of his life forever, he quickly and swiftly sneaks a snap and we will see this child in 10 years time on the cover of "Cosmopolitian" - You'll so soooo embarrassed!

Or maybe he's going to go home and pleasure himself to it.

Child trafficking and Pornography act.

It is a serious offence to take pictures of kids wihtout their parents permission.

There is no evidence to back this up, but it IS fact.

Somehow, I don't think pornogrpahy was being filmed on CIE/Dublin Bus this morning. You do know what pornography is, don't you?

Link to legislation sighting the act in the second setence is an offence, please.
