Videoing illegal?

Iv never heard of this - I have taken shots of the MI6 building, in sight of security and it was not a problem.

Might be one of those things that's technically against the law but not often enforced. Try it again in a burqua and let us know how you get on.

3. Saying that a person in the film is breaking a law isnt fine - You can suggest that in your opinion they were being dangerous, but to suggest they were breaking the law - until it has been proven in court - means you could (a) be interfering with an investigation (b) libelling someone.

I never say that what drivers I catch do is illegal because passing a cyclist closely and brake testing them technically isnt illegal. But when they blatently jump a red light or stop in the ASL for no reason or use there mobile phone while driving, then a Court of Law will obviously see it as illegal.

I dont go purposly riding around looking for law breakers but I do certainly keep my eyes open for dangerous occurences.

Persistent or aggressive photography of a single individual may come under the legal definition of harassment.

Well in all of the videos I have taken of drivers, I have not had one yet who is a repeat offender. Therefore this statement does not relate to me.

but "owner of AB123 DEF dangerously does xyz" is OK;

Rubbish!!

You have no clue whether the driver is the owner or not.

Report it again at a station and see what they say. They CAN do something about it, they just can't be bothered. an incident not involving a collision doesn't make it a legal thing to do.

If they are going to do anything about it and if there is an offence committed and potentially a charge to answer, the police must issue a NIP (notice of intended prosecution) within 14days of the offence. So you may be out of time.

I remember finding once a page on the BBC website explaining the Human Rights Act and privacy issues for their staff, it basically stated the privacy part of the HR act does not apply in public areas at all.
