Here are some general rules and laws that I collected. I was told to delete all my footage recently and this led me to start learning what photographers and people in general rights are when it comes to photography and filming in public. There are a lot more rules than you think and you won't believe the locations that you thought are safe are not.
Anyway. I'm not a lawyer so this is just some info for the amature. If you're a professional then best you get a lawyer or do a course on this as there are lot of areas that professionals have to look out for.
Here are some links for us Amatures to burrow down into...

Correction about filming in National parks, if you are going to submit for Stock a low impact filming permit is needed, also some city councils also require low impact filming permits.
Thanks Phil. That's handy to know. Cheers
Was recently arrested for "taking a picture of sensitive material in a police station". So I'm looking at a six figure payout. Never thought the police would be so stupid to make up a law and try and enforce it. Thanks for the video. No presumption of privacy in public
Yep, the onus to protect peoples personal info is ON THE POLICE & they can NOT protect that info by telling citizens to look away !
The only thing i read was if it gets in the way of their duties. But for normal street photography hobby it would never be a problem
If you were in a public area, which they refuse to believe even a sliver of "their" building is, you can take pictures of anything. They can't argue the zoom on your lens. If you have a civil rights attorney, you're all but guaranteed a settlement. Discuss an NDA with your attorney before you accept the settlement because you want to be able to talk ALL about it. People need to know what to expect. The governments love covering all this stuff up so we don't know. They still make up laws routinely, in 2023.
this is correct, Australians have no Right to Privacy. on private property there are different rules but you do NOT 'have to delete the files'.
of course if you have a camera with TWO cards..... haha.... I've been approached at woolies when i was taking photos for stock of my daughter, and I told them I was just "documenting this strange covid situation" and they were ok. Personally me being a boring 40-something mum really helps me!
Lol yes people dont know about cameras with dual card setups. 🤣 true the average joe blow taking photos will get overlooked, but when it starts to look like a production. Still saying that security in the city get their knickers in a knot when they see rhe dslr pop out. Stock photos would pose its own challenges too.
@@robdido yes it does, i've got some tips on how to avoid unnecessary conversations, whilst doing the right thing of course! :D
A good topic for your next video 😆 lock stock photography and the law 😆
@@robdido endless content! even in this niche market.
i can't tell you how many times this has happened to me, especially in public areas, people coming up to me asking me to delete photos. but is that the Em-1? certain cameras have dual sd slots- what i do, if you have dual slots, i reserve 1 slot for a card that has nothing in it. i set one of the fn buttons to quick switch cards, if i get asked to delete my photos, i switch to the other card and show them "card is empty". it's also fun to brush up on your acting skills as well, make it seem like you really don't want to have to delete the photos "oh are you serious? do i really have to? well okay i guess i should" and just switch to the other card
Haha. Sneaky 😆 yes em1 can have duel record so if you delete there is a copy on other card. Or just use recuva software 😆.. better still tell them.. sorry I will stop taking photos but I am not going to delete anything because the data in my camera is my property. It's the law 😆
Thank you 😊 even filming children in public is legal itz out of respect we don't
Yes legal. And out of fear you will get punched by the dad 😆
Interesting (and well done) video Roberto, in most cases it really comes down to common sense, I believe that we all know when a person can have an expectation of privacy. What does not make sense (as you noted) is that it’s OK to photograph in certain places with a cellphone but not with a “big” camera, a couple of years ago I was at shopping mall in Miami and a security guard asked me not to take pictures inside the mall (I was using a Fuji X-T2), he said that it was OK to photograph with my cellphone, of course I asked him what was the difference, he replied… “I don't know, I just work here”. Be well and stay safe.
Hahaa.. that is gold.. Its exactly what I was thinking but didnt say in the video. The DSLR intimidates people, and they think you are professional. Little does security guard know the iphone has the tech to make feature films these days LOL
Good advise! Thank you for making this video!
👍 yes. Very tricky subject. Best thing I do these days is agree and move on. No point arguing anymore 😆
I know the laws in the US very well.
Private anything can tell you to leave for any reason. When they do, just leave.
I wouldn't take pictures on your way out, unless you're in immediate danger.
Public areas and buildings without specific markings or signs, are all paid for by US, you can film anyone INCLUDING CHILDREN there. Don't let people try and offer the analogy of coming to your house and standing outside and blah blah blah. Yes, you can photo private property from public property.
At least in the US, you may film inside courthouses, but not the courtrooms. You'll find that the guards and sheriffs and marshalls will struggle with that simple fact quite a bit.
In the US if you are in a public area and the business is exposing personal information, that's an issue with HIPAA in some cases, and the responsibility always lies on the shoulders of the business taking the info, to secure it so that you can't see it in the public area. Personal or private information cannot convert a public space into private.
A rather obscure bit is that if a government entity rents a private space and offers services, say a satellite tax collector's office in a strip mall, that private space becomes public, as does the sidewalk and parking areas. Assume the cops never know this.
The fact that a single one of our countries actually requires a law stating that we are ALLOWED to take pictures outside is one of the most absurd things I've ever heard in my English speaking life.
I also know that the #1 cause of death for police in the US, UK, Australia and possibly Canada is suicide. So stop giving in to their SAFETY nonsense.
Great insight Kevin. Looks like Australia very similar to USA.. agree with stupidy of it all. Peoples perceptions of why we take the photos in the first place got tarnished when the internet came along...
Exactly why I stick to Nature and macro photography. If I were given a hard time by some random stranger after having taken their photo I would delete it without being asked because I would not want to look at that photo ever again anyway.
Yeah. Spot on. I would too. Its when you get asked to not film buildings that I find very stupid. Its just a building who cares. Apparently even buildings can be copyright by the architect. I'm the same - if someone starts yelling at me... I walk away.. not worth it
@@robdido I've been told not to shoot buildings more times than I can count, but luckily never told to delete anything.
@@careywest haha i thought so with all the walks you done. I saw a few on your vids and you handle them well.. albeit i can hear the frustration and quiet reserve.
I just don't shoot people, especially children. I too stick to landscapes, wildlife (they don't seem to care), cars, abandoned building in the middle of nowhere etc.
ABOUT BUILDINGS and being told/asked to not shoot/photograph when in the PUBLIC STREET! I was downtown MIAMI,FLORIDA 33131 and someone come out of federal courthouse and told me it was illegal to shoot the FEDERAL BUILDINGS from the public street/s! I wrote a letter to local govt, and asked, never did get any reply! In the USA it is legal to shoot anywhere while in the public, even IN Federal Buildings, yes even inside although while in public areas! court house, post office, etc. One time while even on the PUBLIC beach where you would think PHOTOGRAPHY, I was told in one section that I would shoot, but i needed to ask GOVT for permission! Also on the public beach and from about 50yards away, this man from that distance walked up to me and told me that I had better not take images of his girlfriend, i shrugged my shoulders a few times as he was talking, saying things like, whatever, and he after a min. or two walked away! WOW, one other time had a screaming woman, etc., people are so out of it, they make a mountain out a mole hill!!! i swear, a BUILDING, come on!!!!! LOL 🤪
Sounds pretty similar to the rules here in the UK.
Thanks for sharing
Yeah. I think most commonwealth countries. I hear in France they are strict and in Arabia forget about it 😆
Well put together Roberto and very measured as well. As you've pointed out, the world and his grandmother takes pictures of each other on their mobiles anywhere and everywhere, and nobody says a word.
I'm glad that it turned out all right in the end for you. Common sense applies, or so you would think. Although that still leaves plenty of room for the intrinsically officious to interfere.
Yeah. I think anyone under 20 years old thinks a DSLR must mean professional. A generation grown up thinking phones are cameras... LOL. Just takes one rotten photographer to do the wrong thing and then a new law gets passed. Guilty until proven innocent :-)
Thanks for this Rob, very good info, did watch your other video as well, yup there was a solid pub music scene in the 80s and 90s .... probably would get away with a bit of filming just with a phone or the osmo done on the quiet, and still get sort of reasonable results :)
Yeah. In hindsight i knew bringing a dslr would invite attention. I think when we started filming the gaming poker machine room scared them and telling them about youtube didnt help. If we used a phone they wouldnt have worried. Just shows how people are paranoid about social media these days
Enjoying your videos Roberto, keep em coming!
Thanks. Trying to come up with new stuff. Mix it up with film and digital
I do a lot of drawing and painting and I often photograph people to copy for my pictures.I always feel guilty and try to take the snaps as quickly as possible.Thanks for this.I have often wondered what my legal standing is.
Cool. Thats a great tool. I guess for buildings too a reference for other artiatic endevours to help creativity. Most people are cool with it.. if some object just move on 😆
Peter, ideally although it is not currently a legal requirement in Australia except under certain circumstances, is just to ask permission. A simple do you mind if I take your picture?
Excellent video Roberto. I watched your sister's video to understand what the issue was. There's so many grey areas here about what you can and can't take pics of. To date, I've never had anyone tell me to stop filming or taking pics.
yeah. i think because she told the bartender she was vlogging. then I guess the manager found out. Next time just film with the phone LOL... so stupid.. But its their property their rules.
Brilliant, and so very Australian, many thanks Robert!
As Dennis Denuto my cousin the famous lawyer once said... "It's the vibe"
Great info. Thank you. The DSLR does draw attention. I'm waiting for iPhome20 with a 25x zoom ☕️🦘🦘🦘😎
Haha. Yeah that would be good. whatever happened to those google glasses.. 🤔
No expectations of privacy in public, up to the individual to make it private 😂
Yes very true. I guess what the photographer does with the photos that is the real question if privacy
Very similar rules here in UK. I Tend to follow common sense rather than the law. A few years ago I took some photos in Scotland without realising it was Faslane the nuclear sub base, no one stopped me or said anything. On reflection I should have realised that’s what it was. Yes children’s playgrounds a definite no no. Sensitive areas can be awkward due to terrorist issues as well. It’s security guards rather than police I usually have problems with.
Should be a Jerry’s Law for photography!
Wow.. those would be awesome of the submarine base. Yeah the world has lost it's innocence. Even when I wear my go pro chest strap I am scared someone will think i have a bomb strapped to me or my long telephoto lens is a gun. Yep Rent a Cops are fun guys ;-)
Everything secret at submarine bases is kept out of view.
Correct nobody can use coercion to force you to delete your images. There’s laws against that. But in the case of you being on private property, taking pictures, they can sue you. And have you arrested for trespass. So by you agreeing to delete the images, you’ve probably avoided that bullet, and it will probably have the effect of them not taking legal action against you.
Yes. Very good advise. 👍 being agreeable and cooperative should be the first operative if on private property.. even i general.. no photo is worth the drama
Trespass is a civil matter, and you have to be asked to leave first.
Great video as a Sydney sider thinking about getting into photography this was really helpful, generally whenever im doing something I operate under the pretense of Its better to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission, however the fake deleting is somthing ill have to reasearch more good shit overall
Yeah its a fun hobby. If you just keep cool about it most people dont really care. Also if anyone asks you to delete then say sorry. Anything on your camera is private property to you. All they can say is stop taking photos. But what you already took is yours
Good advise mate 👍
Thanks 👍
Thanks heaps for this. Exactly what i was looking for. Learned a lot. Makes sense there's a lot of grey areas which need common sense too. Ecen if filming something somewhere isn't technically illegal doesn't preclude a "reasonable " right to object to said action for a million different reasons which may actually be reasonable from other person's perspective. Btw i was amazed to see a Horsehead poster in the vlog you took for your sister. I remember seeing horsehead in the mid 90's at the Espy! Awesome band!
Yeah. Usually common sense is the yard stick but these days with social media people are weary of dickheads on tiktok.. haha I saw horse head at the Lansdowne in Sydney supporting tea party... Good times
I just got a drone for mostly out in the wastelands of the desert here in Southern California, going from photography to droneagraphy, am learning a whole new set of rules :)
Just came up with a unique video idea. Drone street photography from my bedroom. Anyone objects then just hit the return home button.. 😆
There is no way that the FAA in the US is ever going to be able to narrow that down legally. There are 3 different zones and they can't even figure out how to measure them. What are they going to do, install shut off switches for when your drone goes 2 feet over?
Do remember, though the public have access to Government buildings, you don't have the right to film/photograph in or on Government land or buildings. So train stations, Police stations, Schools (schools are very much a no-go zone, even from outside), the Tax Dept, even Parliament House. You can take pictures from outside, on public land, of some buildings, but they can withdraw permission or deny you, such as a Military base.
Yes all true. Military is not allowed for sure... If they ask you to stop then I always do and move on. Not worth the hassle 😆
No one can forbid anyone anything, natural law of physic's.
. Nothing happens without consent !
No is/means NO.
NEVER film in a BAR______Someone maybe in a position that would be very incriminating evidence in a LAWSUIT ! YOU can always use a" Model Release Form " Document,,,, if they refuse , then You MUST delete the picture/film. Legalities.
True. Too many legal issues. Best to just not bother and move on
Tks for the info mate
No worries. Thanks 😊
I find if a kid does appear in one of my photos, you need to make abundantly clear to everybody in the vicinity, that you're shooting in the street for fun, not for nefarious purposes. If somebody sees me pointing toward a family or something, I try to make it clear to them that its the scene, or just everybody in the street, that I'm shooting, by letting them see me take photos of other people nearby too.
Yeah it must be tricky.. im still green when it comes to people let alone incidental kids getting in the way of a good shot 😆 i watch that YT fuji guy from boston Faizal westcott and he carries around a business type card with examples of his work. Its sad that in todays world people jump to the negative first. Even at the dog park i got told off.. fark that for a joke 😡
Great vid mate it has helped me out a lot, driving trucks I see a lot of shit not sure what I can tape.
Thanks.. yeah the tricky bit is what you do with the footage i guess.. publishing is probably another minefield..
I have a question. I cannot find any mention of being able to record in public buildings IE: City hall, library, and government buildings in general. I mean they are owned by the people but can we record inside them.
In Australia it is technically legal in libraries. I think you might need permission if it's for pro work. But I see your point.. we all own those buildings so why shouldn't we be allowed
Excellent advice. Good reminder to also lie low and not be overly chatty to pub staff lol
LOL
If in a private place, I always ask. Funny story tho, a homeless lady with her beautiful dog in a public park. I asked if I could take the photo of the dog, she said no, then she said if I gave her $20 I could take the photo. So I told her that I would go across the park, and put on a big lens and take the shot anyway because she is in a public place. HAH! So far ... the wildlife I shoot has not challenged me or needed a model release :)
Ha. Very good story and how privacy comes into the picture. I saw a street photographer once asked a homeless guy and he said no because he was afraid people he was running away from might see it. Lol wildlife.. unless its a grizzly bear 🐻 you shot with a 17mm.
Interesting topic and issues (or rights) we should all take the time to be familiar with incase we find ourselves in these unsavoury circumstances. I wonder how food vloggers do it, they’re in restaurants all the time (but don’t recall them being in pubs). You’re right, their business their rules but makes me suspicious when they get all antsy about someone filming that isn’t obviously a film crew 😂. So many new joints I’ve found on Instagram cos someone I follow has filmed in it.
I think its the camera. When a 20 year old manager sees a DSLR, they have no idea what it is and think you must be a professional LOL... Phone cameras still have the air of amateur so most people get away with it. I was filming my sister in the pub and she told the bartender she was a vlogger... You should have seen when we went to film the pokies .. they rushed in like a SWAT team screaming at us.. Pokies are completely banned from filming... The hypocrisy of it all
@@robdido haha yes gaming floors off limits, even at the Star if you pull out a phone close to the tables they zone in and ask to put it away. At least they’re nice about it
I read couple years ago when barangaroo park openend a famous photographer was asked of he had a permit to photograph the views of sydney. Crazy
But it's OK for them to photograph us on their property .
🐕
Fair enough and that’s why a currant affair can have cameras in the faces of dodgy people in those lovely rip off stories haha. However what does this mean for us and the surveillance ‘state’ we are becoming. That judges ruling would only back the ‘state’ digitising us. It’s very different having someone take a photo or two versus a daisy chain of cameras following you everywhere you go with ai software tracking you. Just a thought on the flip side.
I think I read once a guy made a short movie or something in London using all the surveillance cameras.. they have so many. The minute you step outside.. big brother for sure 😊
Freaky story Roberto that's good that you looked at some of the laws, dunno how the paparazzi get away with it
you will notice paparazzi and even people like current affair they always film from the road side or they wait outside the building or they chase people into tunnels at super high speeds :-(
@@robdido And get paid for it!
@@robdido paparazzi was not the reason that DIANE is dead now, it was a setup, and THEY killed her, it was a sort of assassination i think!
I had to visit many stores of a big chain super market to do an audit, this involved taking photos using an app we had, this was to be done so they could determine what kind of shop fit outs they would do or need doing, I used common sense, i'd wait for people to get out the way etc., BUT boy did i get some D Heads, store manager's as well, carrying like i was a rock spider, one store worker asked for my " credentials" I said yeah i got some, showed him a picture of the wolf creek character pointing a gun, the look on his face. 😅😅
Lol. That would have freaked him out. Phones are easy. when you have a big lens camera.. people automatically think what's going on here.. photos of the high prices are more offensive 😆
@@robdido Yeah the look on his face when i showed a pic of john jarrat, was like you A$$ Hole
The media have done this.
👍true
I thought taking a photo/video is a form of collecting data : Hair style, clothing, colour, eyes, identity, tattoos, injuries, or no injuries(insurance dodging), location or to places the person in a situation, when, where and time stamped. This is just to name a few. All without their consent. Doesn't seem to right to me.
Yes its a fine line the privacy aspect. But in a public space you can take photos of people. What you do with those photos is another thing. Evidence of wrong doing can assist with eye witness accounts. Everyone has right of privacy eg. In their backyard sunbathing etc. Street photos of people is legal and paparazzi photos too. Most street photographers will delete if asked
Reminds me of a nursery rhyme. If wishes were horses,
beggars would ride.
If turnips were watches,
I'd wear one by my side.
If "if's" and "and's" were pots and pans,
There'd be no work for tinkers' hands!
I had to look it up.. lol 😀 It is not enough to wish for something, you have to take action to make it happen... i guess it applies
If we are afraid to do something in case we might be in the wrong, then we will end up doing nothing. Hence, there is no work for tinkers' hands. That's why your video is so good.
Yes i see now. Great saying. So true. Too many rules these days holding everyone back
where to read the law in melbourne please , much appreciate it man ! today an obnoxious lady approached me while taking photo of the building she said she doesn't want to be in it , she was paranoid shenalready passed over 200 camera surveillance ! she said i need tk delete the photo , i pull up my phone to recover the entire convo she ran away she is ultra paranoid she was watching her back , anyone experience this ! as i explained to her this is public photography . what's your intake about this issue ?
No issue. You can keep photos as they are yours. I just say sorry and move on. She appears to have issues but that is not your problem. As long as you are kind and not argue. Just wait till she leaves and continue taking photos on public land it's ok
While watching the recent Big Bash cricket I noticed how frequently the cameras were showing the crowd, including numerous children, and yet I would assume that not a single one of them gave explicit consent for their image to be recorded or broadcast. On another matter which may have already been covered, traffic enforcement cameras can take photos of the interior of a vehicle on a public road as that interior is then legally considered to be a public place.
I think they can film and show you but not identify you eg name etc.. bit of a grey area i guess.. what about that guy at the world cup who became famous or those girls in bikini's at the soccer.. i remember a guy at work got outed when he took a sickie but the boss saw him on the tv at the cricket 😆
@@robdido ... There was a case about 30 years ago when a woman who had been convicted of murdering her husband thought that she had been him on a cricket broadcast. They got hold of the footage and asked people who knew him well to have a look and they were all certain that it was him. An appeal was launched and she was released............... Re filming I would assume that there would be something in the conditions of entry that patrons agree to abide with when they purchase the tickets. A good question to ask someone who comments of a photographer taking photos of children in public is, " when you see children shown on television during sporting broadcasts, do you complain to the media about capturing those images?" Personally I like to watch the games, not be constantly shown some child holding a home made sign and screaming into the camera.
@@johnvienta7622 reminds me of that Larry David episode where the guy sitting behind him at the baseball used it as an alibi for a murder
@@robdido , yes, I remember that incident.
Images taken by accredited media journalists at events like the Big Bash are classified as editorial and are used by Media agencies in reporting events and the news. They do not need to have property or model release forms.
Even if you did take photos of area 51 or a RAAF base's, army base etc and you did delete them, they can still find out if they take your phone off you,
Yeah the govt has different rules for that scenario and the aliens are already taking photos of us all lol 😆 hopefully not with probes
I was saying in my head during this video, "what about all the losers taking selfies and doing dumb vertical videos for TikTok in bars and clubs?", then you said it. Albeit in a much more civilized tone than the one in my head lol. But this is one huge reason I need two card slots. Most idiots wont know that there's a backup, and seeing on the screen "delete all" would probably satisfy them.
😆 you should see my outtakes i left out. I got two cards also but only for photos. I reckon they freak out at dslr's thinking im a pro. Pretty soon all cameras will remove 16:9 and we will be living in a tiktok nightmare world 😆
@@robdido yep. I've said it before, it's only a matter of time before movie theater screens are constructed in vertical orientations.
Hey thats a good idea. Should patent it 😆
in Italia è proibito fotografare le persone anche in luoghi pubblici ma non lo sa nessuno, molti fanno street photography e pubblicano pure, finché gli va dritta e non si beccano una denuncia. Ho preso un libro apposta per capire il diritto in fotografia che è piuttosto complicato ma anche prima non ho mai fotografato gente, non voglio grane! poi è pieno di quelli che riprendono col telefonino, bah, che schifo
Sì, lo so. persone che scattano foto con il telefono ogni giorno. CZcamsr come James Posys vanno sempre in Italia e fanno street photography. Immagino che alla polizia non importi molto. tanti turisti in italia
6:20 - ABSOLUTE horse dust. If I am on my privately owned land and I am filming into your backyard there is absolutely nothing you can do about it. Nothing. The eyes CANNOT intrude, therefore a camera cannot intrude. If I can see your backyard with my eyes I have legal rights to film it. Even then, if I were to legally launch a drone I again have every right to film your backyard. You need to make privacy in those situations. If you don't want to be see in your home, you must draw your curtains.
Around 9:45 - Nope. Transit Authority, which is a government body(thus publicly owned) runs the trains. It's a sub company. Therefore train stations are public property. Nobody has a right to interfere with your filming.
Around 10:26 - Nope. National parks are owned by National Parks & Wildlife Service, which is a subsidiary of Department of Planning and Environment. Another government body, thus publicly owned thus public property. You cannot post rules that directly go against the law.
Thanks for great feedback. Bit tricky all these laws. I think for backyard the grey area is "reasonable expectation of privacy".. and the govnt areas you mention are probably more related to do with film crews thay need permits. Anyway i shoot what i want.. if someone says something then i move on. Not worth the hassle. Thanks again for insight.
@@robdido It's sad that it becomes a hassle. When we were kids and saw a camera, we would be trying to get in front of that thing at any cost to say hello to the parents or friends. These days, you risk being punched by ignorant people for filming. Quite sad....
@@adamarzo559 I know. God forbid you accidently photograph a child and get labeled a pervert... the worst thing is now we censor ourselves in fear of what other people think. It doesn't happen that much but still sad the world is half glass empty 😞
It's time for all government work, even the police to where THE PEOPLE'S CAMERAS. On them as soon as they start work, and if it is not they are sacked on the spot, if they don't have a good enough excuse. So when the none corrupted government takes over we The PEOPLE can see everything thEY do.
I wonder what camera brand the cops use... most the footage on tv seems very low res.
You should start doing so called Audits.
I can't remember what I said lol. Audits?
Hello Roberto, do you need to know this? probably not, but I’m going to tell you anyway, I have to vent (haha). I finally got the Olympus OM-1 with the 50mm f/1.8 that I was looking for from KEH ($200.00), the camera was graded as excellent on their website, I opened the box, the camera and lens looked like new, but also in the box I found the focusing screen, I guess it fell off during shipping, no big deal, it’s easy to install, I look through the viewfinder and it’s all sorts of dark stains and blotches, they told me that it was the prism but that they don't do any repairs, I guess nobody inspected the camera before it was shipped, yes Roberto, I got a full refund.
I see lots of vids about keh. Australia doesnt have something like them. Lucky they return. Yeah its so hard to grade them. I guess they thought the viewfinder would not effect final photos but still they should tell you
@@robdido I agree with you, that would not affect image quality, buy as you say, they should tell people about things like that, the other issue which I don't understand is why can’t they repair it (clean it) and send it back to me. OK, I’m going to stop bothering you with all these huge problems that retired people like me have. LOL. Be well Roberto.
I know frustrating finding a mint one. All good. Comments are good so others can see issues. Fixing probably costs more than the camera 😆 happy hunting
But the police can do it all the time.
👍
They have the right to ask you to stop filming but technically it is a discrimination unless they have No-camera signs in place. As you've mentioned, how come it is ok to film with the phone and not ok to film with the camera?
They can ask with phones but most people would ignore a phone. When they see a proper camera they think different and get nervous. Silly because phones are better sometimes. It is because my sister said vlog they became political.
even a "no cameras" sign (did they buy that at Bunnings? lol) doesn't overrule the Law. People get their knickers in a twist when you bring out a big camera, but we aren't being covert with it. If i wanted to secretly film you i'd have the go pro hidden, james bond style, in my jacket.
True. Filming is the easy bit. What you do with the footage and where you show it also has its rules. Thats why i add the footage not worth the hassel. Not that it was anything bad but in todays world of social media people and businesses are paranoid of how they will be portrayed without consent. Lol bunnings 😆 🤣
@@takingstock163 well it is their private business, they can set whatever rules they want as long as they don't go against the human rights, and they can trespass you if you don't comply. But having a no photography rule is bad for business usually, I would have demanded to talk to the owner about that photography incident.
@@robdido well imo it is worth the hustle, instead of having a good time with your sister and having the beautiful memories documented you got treated as imposters.
The l

You should always go gorilla when your filming in sensitive areas like on trains, pubs, police stations, airports etc, better to use your iphone that's much more discreet
Yeah. People think big cameras mean your serious.. lol.. im never serious. I learnt my lesson
@@robdido When I want to make a big impression I always bring out my big camera that’s normally when I have a client there but generally if I don’t want to check the crowd a roll with the smallest camera I can find.
You are mistaken at 6:19 recording someones back yard from your property is not illegal. Example.. if you have an outdoor security camera that captures footage of your neighbours property that is ok.
I read you might need permission from them.. thats if they ever complained. But in general they have an expected right of privacy on their private property
So my neighbour with cameras pointing at my place and all the neighbours across the road is OK? He's perving at my wife!
Aw man no upskirts I’m outta here
🐕
If people don't want to be photographed,they shouldn't go out in public,it's all about capturing life.
Haha. True. It's all just for fun too. I can understand if they had a bad hair day lol
