As per recent communication from Assistant Chief Constable Catriona Paton:
“Given concerns about filming, I would ask people to remind anyone videoing or photographing in public to respect those around them. Police officers balance the rights of people to film with the potential to cause fear or alarm and make decisions based on individual circumstances.
“It is not illegal to take photographs or video footage in public places unless it is for criminal purposes.”
