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.

The pervert buses are filming schoolgirls?

Ban all buses.

Child trafficking and Pornography act.

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

It's actually illegal. Ask any legaloligist.

joe316 · 17-09-2008 10:53AM

Well I know that in swimming pools, etc.. that parents cant take pics of THEIR kids cos of child laws (not sure which tho) so there has to be some law against it or else the pools are doing it themselves.

would other people have done something this morning

Didn't think so.

I'll bet it's long. And completely unrelated. Just one question: were charges brought in the end?

It's true, I was taking a photograph of a traffic light for my traffic light enthusiast website and I accidentally caught a 17 year old boy's finger in the shot. Then I got arrested and chemically castrated. Look it up, it was in all the papers and Traffic Light Enthusiast Monthly.*

*May not be true. I think I've taken this as far as I can go. And I can never have children.

Ah, I see. And how is the 17-year-old? Poor traumatised wee thing will be in psychotherapy for years.

Maybe he just didn't understand the phone and was trying to make a call.

Just tried that - still get shutter noise on my K800i.
Think it depends on the regional firmware on the phone.

Even tho that is very possible, i did spot him trying (i think) to take another one. He was hiding the phone and aimed at her, I stared at him he saw me looking at him and quickly put the phone back in his jacket.

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?

Dont have the time to dig up the link but some guy in Galway got jail time during the week for 3 incidents of taking upskirts with his phone.

Dinter · 17-09-2008 11:30AM

Actually this reminds me of an incident I saw on a bus.

There were two kids around six or seven sitting together on the bus in front of me when I was heading home. Bus is half empty when I get on and empties more as we head for Rathmines. Anyway as we pull into the Portobello stop this lad comes up the stairs and sits down beside them, i.e. makes them push over so there’s a space for him. At this stage there’s loads of seats available so I found it a bit odd he wanted to sit there.

Anyway as we’re driving up the road he keeps engaging them in conversation even though it’s obvious they’re a bit freaked out. It’s also obvious that he doesn’t know them as he introduces himself with a handshake. The two kids end up squashed together in the corner with him sprawled in beside them. There was nothing more ominous than that.

Still when I was getting off I made a point of telling him to go elsewhere as the seats are only made for two. He was pretty pissed off at my temerity though and I had to tell him (politely) a couple of times.

So what do you think? Friendly chap who likes kids to talk to or something more sinister

I forgot to mention, if the culprit was using a smart card they could track his movements and see what other busses he was on and where else he was perving

Please do when you get the chance. I think upskirts might qualfiy as 'invasion of privacy' whereas photogrpahy doesn't. I'd be surprised to find he got jail for it, considering people who download genuine child porn sometimes avoid jail.

I'll tell you what.

At lunchtime, find a guard and ask him to watch you take a photo of a group of kids you don't know. Then, if you are able to come back this afternoon, let us know how you get on.

Some bloke on a bus taking a photo of a school girl so he can go home and have a **** over her would be considered producing pornographic material, which, it may surprise you to find out, is very much illegal.

Maximilian · 17-09-2008 11:45AM

If all he did was take a photo. On a camera. So what.

Honestly, I would refer everyone to that Brass Eye special a few years back. Pedophobia is out of hand.

Frankly if someone want to **** in the privacy of his own home, dressed up as Julie Andrews in the Sounds of Music over a picture of an infant panda in stockings, that's their own business.

(it's jolly good fun by the way)

Sure there is a better article on it some where. Basicly he was caught in boots and on the street doing it.

Honey-ec · 17-09-2008 12:00PM

He was (allegedly) taking pictures of a fully clothed teenager in a public place? And we've gotten from that to him being a raging paedo who should be arrested and charged with producing child p0rn?

Jesus Christ. What's next? Gouging out the eyes of people with an eidetic memory juuuusssst in case they look at a bunch of schoolgirls and go home and get their rocks off while picturing them???

7 months is a bit OTT. This would have been laughed at as a Just William type scenario in an earlier age.

Silent phones aren't much good when you have to tell the girl to get her kit off for a better shot.

Well if you are a Galway local you know that if your in front of Mary Fahy your screwed. There have been cases where lesser offenses have got very heavy sentences. Reading the local rags and the in the courts sections you get to know she is not a judge you want to be in front of.

Unless of course you are a restaurant caught serving alcohol on Good Friday. In which case she refuses to give a conviction. But in fairness to her on that one my understand of the good Friday law was you could get wine etc in a restaurant on Good Friday as long as you where eating a meal. But some cop got it into his head to bring charges against nearly every restaurant on Quay street last year. She admitted that by law he was right but refused to convict.
