Jump To Comment: 11 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1Niall, you can waste your life being indignant.
I refer you back to my piece on a complaint to the Data Commissioner.
Don't write it off - it has never been tried.
Because they are public servants and are accountable to the public.
We are not accountable to them ... 'save in accordance with law'. - Article 40.
Niall in your piece on how to deal with the gardai you said and i will quote
"Use audio/video recording devices if you expect any dispute to arise"
If you are concerned about filming to gather personal information then lodge
a complaint with the Data Protection Commissioner.
It's a simple procedure.
Visit the site anyway, for the info.
It's true that there is nothing to stop someone taking photographs in a public place.
However, the way the Gardaí are using cameras in Mayo is more akin to harassment than any sort of realistic intelligence gathering exercise.
Cameras are shoved in faces, individual protesters are follwed and contantly filmed, specific Gardaí make jeering and abusive comments while filming. It's meant to un-nerve, and has even elicited complaints from visiting parliamentarians.
Comparing it to CCTV is loopy.
Niall, you've been involved for long enough now to know better. The legal system exists to protect those who run this place, and their bulldogs. Trying to use the law against them is pointless.
Forcibly stopping a cop from videoing you will get you a charge of assaulting an officer, which is something the campaign doesn't really need.
The cops are scum, and the law protects them. Until there's some major changes around here, that's going to be the case.
How is it legal for them to film?
You're the second person in this thread to suggest this.
Again, I reject that as hearsay with no reference to legal grounding. Just cos we hear people say it doesn't make it true. Hearsay is dangerous if we just believe it without asking questions.
I say that our rights to freedom of movement, assembly and personal privacy are protected by constitutional law.
What law do you or they say gives them provision to film us.
You need your own camera, just video them videoing you. And if its legal for them to record you in a public place, then its just as legal for you to video them in a public place. Believe me, they will be absolutely freaked out at the fact that you have the same 'equipment' as them, its the only way to go with it!
And if they seize your camera, you'll have it back once you call to the station for it, as they well know, its either give it back, or pay you for it.....
Well Done Niall.
We look forward to your day in court. Any idea of what charges they are going to slap against you ?
Yes my car was seized unlawfully. They stole it because they thought they we could get away with it.
You say that 'If you are in public you can be filmed, Same as the Gardai are being filmed at Ballinaboy'.
I reject that as hearsay. Please back up your claim with 'chapter and verse' - legislative provision in other words. And read article 40 of the constitution, link below.
Arrested and released without charge.
Why did they seize your car ? Was it seized lawfully ?
If you are in public you can be filmed, Same as the Gardai are being filmed at Ballinaboy.
Under what powers were you arrested today? Were you charged to appear in court or are you going to be summonsed at a later date ?
