Good. Exploiting other people and invading their privacy for social media clout is a particular sickness of modern society that needs to be stamped out.

This is as creepy as fuck and his arrest is definitely in the public interest, but I was glad to see a remark in the article about how recording video in public is legal — it’s important that this remains true!
Luckily, it appears that this creep was also recording video that crossed over the line into illegality.

Are these linked to the “night life” videos on YouTube?
Where it’s a “night out in Manchester!”
And it’s a guy silently walking around outside busy clubs following young girls in short dresses

Something can both be objectively creepy and weird, but entirely legal at the same time
If he is prosecuted, I’m curious as to what the charge is

Finally!
He’s been doing this for quite some time.

>GMP said officers had found other content “locked under paywalled accounts which included footage of suspected non-consensual nudity and upskirting” in the course of the investigation.
>Ch Insp Stephen Wiggins said: “Filming in public is legal, however where this filming crosses the line into offences such as upskirting, stalking or harassment, it’s important that we don’t allow that behaviour.”
For those asking the offence. Also within the article there’s a link to the investigation article and it says
> GMP said although it is not illegal to film people in public, if the action is causing distress or harassment it could be considered criminal.

Comments on these videos are just 90% blokes saying ‘watching from x third world country’. Grim.

Doesn’t the Daily Fail have Freshers Week, Halloween, and St. Patrick days articles, every year, showcasing women like this with out their consent?

If you’re recording something in public and I walk pass you’re recording in public I just happened to walk past however if your camera starts to follow me you’re recording me and you’re no longer just filming in public you’re taking a video of somebody

I hope they properly throw the book at the creepy cunt and make an example of him.
The Daily Mail do a similar thing during Freshers Week.

Can it be considered stalking and harrasment if they are all walking past him and don’t even know they’re being recorded.

How dare someone film people walking around in public where you can legally record people in public.
>suspected non-consensual nudity
What even is this?
The only thing on here that the uploader could possibly be prosecuted successfully on is upskirting.
People don’t want to have semi-nude vids of them floating around, then don’t go wandering around town centers semi-nude.
This smacks of feminist activism.

You’ve got to be able to film people in public. You might be collecting evidence of illegality at demos etc. if you say there is no reason to film nightlife then what if a person is collecting evidence of antisocial behaviour?
Once not filming in public becomes established then the wrong sort of groups will exploit it.

This showed up on my Facebook a few months ago and it was creepy as fuck, he was going around secretly filming drunk girls and from what i could see seemed to focus on those with short dresses or skirts on
The comments were a disgusting mix of people calling the girls whores and slurs, and men thirsting over them.
