Since when did street photography become illegal over here? I know it is much of Europe, but I was under the impression that we worked under the assumption of no reasonable expectation of privacy in public places.
Or is it just illegal for assilum seekers to do it?
In principle, targeting someone and taking photos of them should be illegal, under harassment law.
In practice, this will only apply if you are brown and don't speak very good English.
Yes. The law is based on "expectation of privacy". If you're out in public, you're not in a place where you can reasonably assume privacy, so you are ok to be filmed/photographed.
Wow, this is really in line with what I expect of Labour. Pissing off everyone to the right, left, and center in a way anyone with a brain could predict
IIUC, the point of the leaflets is to extend consent education, so that instead of just covering the first group below it also covers the second.
UK school pupils. They already receive it.
Asylum seekers. AFAIK they did not previously receive it, which was a twofold problem: a. for the victims of the very small number of asylum seekers who committed crimes against consent, perhaps not knowing how seriously that would be viewed in the UK; and b. for the many innocent asylum seekers tarred with the same brush.
Older adults in the UK. These may never have received consent education, but unfortunately are often reactionary enough to vote Reform if anyone tries to “nanny” them - so they will probably never receive it.
Labour needed to do something to stop the law-abiding majority of asylum seekers having their reputations tarnished by a tiny number of no-goodnik asylum seekers.
IMO, the booklets were a good move by Labour. They will make it easier for thicker members of the public to distinguish between the very few bad apples among asylum seekers (“This guy broke the rules, and can’t plead ignorance because he received the booklet in a language he reads fluently”) and the law-abiding majority.
Huh, I apparently have illegal photographs from the late '90s.
(joking. I assume that having people unintentionally in the frame as I take a picture of some famous building, especially for photos that aren't put anywhere public, is fine since they're not the subject. Then again, Japan has some bonkers rules on that, so I dunno).
On 10 September, 1976, dozens of children, including every single pupil from class 3, Scarfolk High School, vanished on their way to school. A police operation was launched but no clues were ever found. The children were pronounced dead the following Monday, a mere three days later.
Every year thereafter, the police commissioned their sketch artist to draw, in the style of a school photograph, how the missing children might have looked (albeit with their faces removed) had they not disappeared in mysterious circumstances. This was sent to the bereaved parents of class 3 at an exorbitant cost of £31.25.
In the 1979 class sketch, one parent noticed a small label on one of the faceless figure's clothes that contained a code word only their child could have known.
Under mounting pressure from parents, the police eventually raided their artist's studio and found 347 children in his cellar where many had been held captive for several years. The police immediately seized and confined the children as evidence in a crime investigation, which, after much dithering, ultimately never went to court leaving the families no choice but to pursue a private prosecution against the kidnapper.
As the children had already been pronounced dead and the cost of amending the relevant paperwork was high, they were given away as prizes in the Scarfolk police raffle, which helped pay the legal fees of their sketch artist, who, it turns out, was the son of Scarfolk's police commissioner.
Well that would imply that the responsibility is on the civilian. This whole thing is meant to imply that big brother will handle it, you just need to report
But wouldn't reporting it to the police be doing, and then someone would have to report me, and then someone would have to report them, and it just seems like it would be better to not.
Social media is now full of a message that seemingly tells immigrants not to rape.
Its everywhere and mainly shared by right winners and anyone slightly susceptible to their bullshit

Fellow Scarfolk fans. Brilliant!
It's true, though. I did once, and I'm looking at 40+ years of jail time.

You should not take photos of people in public?

Or is it just illegal for assilum seekers to do it?
It isn’t. They probably used ChatGPT to put any old shit together.
Or they hired a company that didn't actually read the brief....
and then used chatgpt to put any shit together

So taking photos of people in general is still fine, but going after one person and taking lots of photos of just that person isn't.
You can go after one person too, as long as they’re within sight of the public domain.

How can a Labour government offer up such a freebie to the right? Now the right wing will feel even more justified in their bigotry.
I think the comment in this article from the Greens is pretty decent "We support consent education, but it needs to be universal."

They aren’t really left wing.
I really read that in Butters' voice automatically
You wouldn't and then
Do not the cat
Excellent
Do not carry trees away in a pram
Do not heelstrike when running.
Like to see you try and move a tree then

Dear UK
I did the in a mocking manner. At the Queen.
Yes, I am aware of the year, her health and location. I just refuse to recognize Chuck.
I ... may have in the past. I'm really sorry though, and I don't intend to do it again!
I like the one about not taking photos of people in public. That's reserved for private corporations and the government.

See it. Say it. Sorted
I hate that slogan. It's super catchy but also based on an unclean rhyme 😭
It almost suggests you should get involved in what ever it is you are seeing.
You see someone getting murdered? See it, say it and then sort it, don't wait for us.
We are all Batman on this blessed day
Wait what?
It could literally be "sort it" instead, like why lol

Dang you're on top of it. Good point
I honestly cringe every time I hear it! Hate it
