Chinese Tourists Demand Not to Be Recorded in London

[PeanutGallery]

WRONG!
I worked as a stringer and can guarantee the news programs NEVER show anyone on video without getting a signed consent form.

There are all kinds of CCTV cameras in London. Does the police get signed consent forms from people before showing they show video at let's say a trial?

THIS is what happens with endless immigration. Say goodbye to your freedoms.

They are now trying to get the video taken down, if they haven't already

Lol you can watch the same issue in video all day long right here in the good Ole USA. You can watch cops arresting people for videoing them all day long. Even in the face of lawsuit after lawsuit. Regular citizens in the streets going crazy on people for taking pictures on the street. It goes on and on.

The guy plays the piano in PUBLIC places and posts the videos to YouTube. That's what he does. And these COMMUNIST CHINESE demand he can't post the videos if they're in the distant background. And liberal "Americans" here side with the commies. This is what you get when the West bends over for these CCP spies

You mean after he put his hands on her, and denigrated her nationality?

The Chinese film crew had a permit from this space to film these two women, and the agreement they had with the venue was that other people couldn't film them.

She politely asked him, and he starts yelling at them in a racist tirade.

The officer had a point, he was being kind of an ass, to people who were voicing their legitimate concerns about not being recorded without their permission.

I don’t know about the UK, but in the USA you have no expectation of privacy in a public space. You certainly can’t demand that someone not film there because it might impact an agreement you have with a third party which was the complaint in this case. The very aggressive Chinese man was likely a government “minder” or security agent who obviously thought he had some kind of authority in the UK.

Maybe. Or maybe he was a male friend who didn't like he was putting his hands on her.

They have exactly the same rules in the UK, at least for now.

If someone's recording a video and you walk in camera view, you can't make demands of the person filming. If you don't want to be in the video, walk on by.

 

[AZrailwhale]

Cops always seem unable to understand the law. She should have immediately told them they hav no expectations of privacy when you're out in public

The cop was only interested in making the problem go away.

 

[ColonelAngus]

You thiink these people tell the CCP to turn theit cameras off when they are back home in China?

Sounds like there isn't an absolute right to film in public.

At least in the US.

If you intend to film on public land, you should check if you require permission from the appropriate local authority or council.

Did you bother to read your links? They don’t say what you think they do.
The BLM one says permits MAY be required when sets, models or damage to the environment will happen.

The Chicago link says permits are only required if you are going to stop traffic or are filming in certain tourist areas like the Navy Pier.

 

[AZrailwhale]

WRONG!
I worked as a stringer and can guarantee the news programs NEVER show anyone on video without getting a signed consent form.

Including anonymous people in the background? I almost never see any blurring of background or B Roll.

Not what was at issue. The had an agreement with the management that they not be recorded when filming their TV Show.

Point is, permits ARE sometimes required. The Chinese group had a permit. Brenden Kavanagh did not.

 

[JoeB131]

I actually found the FULL video of the incident. Not at all what is being portrayed.



First, the Chinese did not just "walk into his scene". They were already there when he set up. He turns his camera several times to catch them on the camera and even tells one of the girls to 'dance" when his partner is playing on the piano. He refers to them as "Japanese" several times before he realizes they are Chinese.

He asks very nicely NOT to show them on the video, because they don't want their images. The man is beyond polite in asking him not to do it. Kavanaugh is beligerent, like he is taking offense that these Asian people are telling him what to do. They even complimented his music.

The guy starts ripping on China instead of just respecting their very sensible request. Then he puts his hands on one of the girls, which is a MAJOR taboo in Chinese society.

Then he starts asking them if they are in the Communist party.

 

[JoeB131]

Oh, watching the part with the cop, she wasn't putting up with his shit, either. This asshole calls this officer by her first name (Rude) and calls her the Chinese personal security. He's ranting about the Chinese flag they were waving, calling it a "Communist Flag".

He then straight up LIES to the officer about who instigated the confrontation.

WRONG

There is no such legal requirement

In a public space one needs no consent.

you never worked anywhere liar

 

[Soupnazi630]

Movie stars have already forfeit their anonymity by deliberately making themselves public figures.
It is not true with ordinary people.
You have to get them to sign a consent form.

No you do not DUMBASS

No consent is needed in a public space

 

[Soupnazi630]

You do need permission if you are going to publish it, either on TV or the internet.
That is the law, even if not enforced.

No you do not

There is no such fucking law moron

 

[theHawk]

So to review...

A guy takes a video in a public place, probably without a permit.

Some passerbys ask him not to use their images in the video.

He starts ranting at them about their nationality, even though under the laws of his country, he should be getting signed releases.

A police officer stops by and tells him to stop acting like an ass.

You don’t need a permit to take photos or videos in public. Not even in the UK run by wannbe commies.
