      Interesting. Where I live, no such ban exists. Sure it could be a good idea to ban some public filming, but where do you draw the line? I think that’s pretty much impossible to do right.

        Up-skirt filming is a good example of an easy line to draw. No filming at public beaches, gyms, pools, changing rooms are also hypothetically easy lines to draw. This isn’t really that complicated.

          And what if a whale washes up on the shore? Can the local news agency film that?

              I’m not trolling. You just made it illegal to film on beaches!

              I’m just illustrating that you can’t draw a line here.

                You can. Filming something with people accidentally in the frame is legal. Filming people on purpose without their consent isn’t. At least in some countries.

                Illegal to film people. If there are a few people on the beach next to the whale just ask for consent. Blocking you now.
