Legal??

Well likely when he videoed it for his own use.

However he likely violated the law when he posted it on the internet without a release from the people in the video.

Looks like Guber was bounced off his bike. That'll teach him for wanting to get in my shot of that sexy bum.

She was in public and fair game in my books.

 

[Thamain P]

Agreed

Providing there is no evidence of edit in the video and witnesses back him up

 

[Melorious]

Legal yes, but it's unclear if she asked him to stop or delete it, see :51. Others may have taken offense but I smell a set up just to see what others would do. The 'ballerina' didn't stop doing what she was doing while the others were intervening.

As far as the camera man s thinking he can video anything he wants he's wrong and is just being a jerk.

I still say 'set up'

Well, there are going to be some problems coming with the video taping in public. When in public one has no "right to privacy" and therefore their image can be captured and used without release. This is how news reporters, sporting events etc can function. Without that law a tv station would have to get signed releases from every spectator at any event before they could broadcast the event.

Now this video is akin to the upskirt videos that have been all the rage lately and those caught taking those types of videos have been successfully prosecuted. Now by his own evidence he wasn't shooting her entire routine, he was just shooting her ass. Yes it is pervy.

Now for the cyclist, was he in the right? Hell yes. Was he in the wrong legally? Hell yes. But this is a perfect case of just because something is legal, doesn't make it right and just because something is illegal, doesn't make it wrong.

Let's hope that if a cop had been summoned, he'd do what was right, not what was legal......

One could argue that cycle dude was also exercising his right to stand wherever he wanted and his right to ask the video guy to stop shooting him. When video guy didn't stop, there might be some case for preventing him from continuing.

I'm not 100% sure on the laws regarding video taping and a request to stop. If the videographer was required by law to stop filming, the paparazzi would be out of business in a heartbeat.

Hopefully if something like this ever goes to trial the judge, let's hope a judge has enough wherewithall to do what's right, not what's legal....

Unfortunately the scumbag is entitled to justice in court and the judge would have to follow the rule of law. However the scumbag would have to produce the original data card as evidence, to be examined. That would be telling. He would also need witnesses to back his version of what happened.

In this case I dare say he would lose.

Well, it seems voyerism is now against the law. This case involved upskirt videos:

I'll see if I can dig up anything on whether this applies to video taping a girl's butt.....
