MASSIVE "ILLEGAL" ACT caught on camera

Chaos at Breahead Shopping centre, recorded on hundreds of mobile phones. Braehead like all privately owned malls in the UK forbids filming on their private property. When this fails as a warning to consumers they involve the state police who invoke (1) to the prevention of terrorism act (2) the child protection act. Such strategies of no- filming are enforced aggressively, except when malls such as this are doing large scale consumer promotions. Mall rules are not really 'law'. And representatives of the law have no place enforcing the rules that malls attempt to enforce, or chose not to, on their own private property.

Malls should be deemed public spaces.




The reality TV stars 'performing' at this event were called Jedward.

I understand the sarcasm of this video but it plays into the wrong hands.

Injustice has to be confronted "Head on" otherwise you lose the "Moral Ground"!

As I understand Breahead centre is going to Apologise to Mr White and change their policy on photography. Partial VICTORY!

I hope the police review their use of the anti terror laws and train/discipine their officers better!

@allmodjohns I agree and you are right. I'm thinking about a way that I could do this simply without having to get into an essay on the subject. I have changed the accompanying text in the column. I have to look at the actual footagenad see whether a word change in the end titles would make a difference. Again, what do you suggest? I'm on your side here.

[allmodjohns]

@mormor39 The only reason I'm being literal is because you are literally stating that this event was illegal under UK law, you're not making an allusion or a metaphor, your referencing laws, not mentioning that PoT is misused by police security etc, you're actually saying it covers these events, that's what you need to change.

[mormor39]

@allmodjohns you are being too literal here - I am saying that for what in one situation - say a father taking a photograph of his child in a mall - which is deemed and communicated as illegal, by the constabulary( rightly or wrongly) is completely disregarded when it comes to public events. Illegal? How can so many people be breaking a law with their lovely new cameras designed for such a purpose.

[allmodjohns]

@mormor39 "By their own rules, and by UK law, this event was illegal." This statement isn't true. Their rules can't make something illegal, only laws can do that and there are no laws that make taking pictures at an event illegal.
