Comment on can my image be recorded in British airports by tv camera crews even if I don't consent?
vestmoria@linux.community 6 months agoThere are a few exceptions and the relevant one here is breaking the law
could you paste a source?
Regarding the Indian national: No, no blurred face, which I find denigrating because to me this is pure British sensationalism against a person who cannot defend himself.

So this is the rule -
https://www.ofcom.org.uk/tv-radio-and-on-demand/broadcast-codes/broadcast-code/section-eight-privacy
8.1 states the use of crime as a public interest defence.
I have a problem with the case you state as it appears that they have broken 8.19 as he's also a victim of crime in this scenario. This is common in police programmes where cases of domestic violence often involve people who are both perpertrators and victims and the general rule is to blur them.
If you feel you want to, then I'd say complain to OFCOM about this. They can fine the programme makers and force them to blur for future broadcasts.
