Golden Wonder Security
This video is part of an article I wrote for www.visitscunthorpe.com please view the article to understand how the video came about. The article can been seen via the following link; www.visitscunthorpe.com Photography in a public place, in the main, isn’t against the law. There are very few exceptions like buildings deemed important to national security, etc. There are also private properties that have public excess like shopping malls, libraries & hospitals, etc, photography in these types isn’t agianst the law but may be against company policy and if caught doing so you could be asked to leave. However, Golden Wonder security in Scunthorpe seem fit

@Sterlingjob Here’s the issue. Once they go outside the gates of Golden Wonder, they don’t have? ANY power over the photographer.
Personally I would have made several? copies of this and mailed them to the head of Human Resources at Golden Wonder, stating that their behaviour was unprofessional and grounds for dismissal. Security guards or not, they are still reprsenting the company when they are in work hours but outside the gate, and they should behave in a polite manner when addressing the pubic.
@KirstyandPhil1 There can be no? excuse for such dimwitted intimidation by way? of spoken or written threats & foul mouthed abuse. Tactics intended to intimidate & stifle lawful/democratic freedoms. Whether that may be from security or council officers; local councillors & politicos.
I can’t agree more those guards suck. Good we have people like Hamstify
Some very sensible comments being made? by @TheChill0ut who I take it from earlier posts is a security guard?
@surfdigby I? think the troll just wants to give someone a nice payday.
@superalihare
Rather then demonstrate your ignorance of the law, you may wish to remember this, it will serve you well:
“Better to remain silent and thought a fool, than to speak out and remove all? doubt”.
If this bloke spends this long at one factory, how long is it going to take him to photograph all of Scunthorpe’s industrial history? If it had? been me, I would have just walked up right in front of him (remember, public land) and snap pictures of him taking pictures. No law says I can’t stand in his line of sight, all the time.
well done on? your principles hope they do not add to the unemployment numbers
@MrClogger100 They won’t – the guards will be replaced by someone? who knows what they are doing.
@andydarlo I think you’ll find section 5 of the public order act will cover it.
?
@thoades Can’t be,? unless they’re getting a grown up to type for them.
reminds me of monty python do you want? an argument
@superalihare Moth off? moron.?
@Cazw00 no group. … it’s viral via Facebook.? The link is being posted as status updates
sounds like they have a chip? on there shoulder…. see what i did there
Wotsits all about should nip it in the bag
( this is the real McCoy). Keep taking the mick? it’s driving people nuts
ridiculous?
Tell you’ve just woke? up
To? all licensed security guards, here is a document covering your behaviour with photographers.

@tolshock Some may have to? get a grown up to help with some of the bigger words.
Hilarious. What a pair of twonks. Hope their families are? embarrassed and ashamed of them.
@andydarlo actually there is a law on that. you can take picture of famous ppl, but not of any random person with their? consent. he could potentially sue you for it.
just saying, in case ur thinking of doing it…
@surfdigby Print this off and send it to those 2? dumb arses!
@Afonsyo: Please give a citation, because you are full of it. In the UK or US, the only rule is you cannot use the photo in a commercial ad without a release. But if you are in public, you can take a picture of anything you can see. In Canada, you can also take a photo, but if the photo is in Quebec, you cannot publish without consent, any other province you can publish anything you? can see in public. It’s called expectation of privacy, and it is a British common law concept. Learn about it.
There’s a background piece written by Hamst and posted on the Visit Scunthorpe community news web site, for any one interested in more background info as to why this came about. Google VisitScunthorpe there’s a link? from the home page
