People throwing stuff out whilst driving [FREE RANT]

Definatly private property is where youd have to turn it off Anywhere which records private property would be illegal (so even if you got a shot of other peoples places [even if just their front yard]). However that said, if a collision happens or you catch something illegal then authorities like the systems. It's up to you, just dont get caught with them? Other than that if your involved in a collision and police rock up and it's not your fault and they decide to blame you, you have solid evidence you can show them, or you can hold off for a day and check and then tell them, saying you were in shock and forgot about the system.

If you hide them then that would be better, no one will be able to tell they're there

Actually, not at all, you only have to turn it off it it is recording actions which would otherwise be private. Being in a supermarket is not classed as an area where you would expect privacy. being in your bathroom is. I can go and take photos of anyone in their front yard and it is legal as it is not a place you would expect privacy. Now add an 8 foot fence and that changes. I can walk through the street photographing/video taping anyone I like if anyone threatens me for doing so it carries a maximum 5 year penalty for the threat.

there are perfectly legal ways to play back any recording under certain circumstances. Simply put though, if you have video devices in your car recording entrance points, providing you make sure it isnt recording through someones house window where one would expect to be afforded privacy, there is really no law against it.

It is actually illegal to take photos in a shopping centre, unless it's in relation to a collision. I have looked into this one and even been told off by security at a few shopping centres for doing so with just my mobile. Then i checked it with local police station, and yea it's illegal.

Didn't know about the houses, thought they would come under the same private property rule which you'd need permission first.

I guess word of advice would be to check with your local police station, after all if they're going to have a problem with it, they're the ones who'll be coming after you most likely.

Wrong again.
I would suggest you ask the local police, then find out the facts afterwards. Being a photographer I know what is wrong and what is right and what laws I am and am not breaking.

The only way it is illegal is if you do not have a right to be there or have not sought permission to be there. You do not need said permission in shopping centres as they are a "public location". However, if the representatives of the owners ask you to stop you must. They CANNOT have you delete any images and even police require an order to delete any images from any device.

Oh before you say police said otherwise, one of the photography forums I use has a photographer who is also a lawyer and specialises specifically in photographers rights .

Sorry to go off topic OP.

Not sure where you get your info mate but that is an absolute crock. Without going into detail - ever watch today tonight? lol.

Camera, recording or not is fine. Pretty much anywhere. When you start making money from it or making arguable public accusations you start learning a few new regulations.
(personal privacy being a given).

Bastards!, I've had a beer bottle thrown at me randomly by some knobs cruising drunk inthe back seat of a car when I was walking along the foot path, It got close enough to me to hear it whiz past and then broke on the concrete. It was very upsetting

 

[Boonz]

[Chalky01]

Yep had that happen a few times, one time i followed someone for about 15kms with the high beams on them, we get to a set of lights and he goes "why don't you turn your f**king highbeams off?"

And ive screamed back "How about you DON'T use my car as an ashtray c**t?"

Hahaha i woulda done the same thing! :thumbsup:
