Have Your Say

Has the world gone mad?

Recently there was an attempt on the Lands End to John a Groats tandem record by James Cracknell and Rebecca Romero. At 10 o'clock in the evening sitting on a wall awaiting the riders I was challenged by a man. He insinuated that I was taking photographs of young girls and had called the police.  The riders went through on schedule and I do not know whether the police wasted their time. Guru

This is your space to play, to suggest new pages for our parent website and in doing so shape our collective futures.

The public realm can be a difficult place to navigate these days. Whereas once individuals were left to their own devices, there are now a plethora of legislative devices in place to marshall a persons' actions. In the case that you have described, there is potential scope to infringe both the EU Human Rights Act, and Copyright Designs & Patents Act 1998; as well as Child Protection Act 2008 (i.e. "photographs of young girls") - depending upon whether minors were actually present during your photo shoot.

We live in an increasingly litigious society - better get a good lawyer, or stay indoors, in the future!
