Even if were to be considered to be underwear, I would think that running and jumping around in a costume designed to show it off in a large arena full of people and cameras of all sorts would tend to obviate any expectation of privacy.Ed Sukach said:The "underwear" bit --- I've been watching United States Open Tennis - given the shortness of the tennis skirts on some of the female participants... isn't there a real danger that the television crews are bound to violate this law by video-ing the "undergarment clad genitals, pubic area, or buttocks,.." of the female participants without their prior permission?

I have a right to go and do anything I want without someone pointing a camera at me and capturing my image.

No piece of 'fine art' is worth it, guys. Be careful where and what you shoot.

Saying there is no expectation of privacy is an abuse
Andy K said:And before you say it is no concern of mine, as a UK citizen what happens in the US usually happens here within a short time.
Les I completely agree with you. Their aim was to cause disruption and fear, which is exactly what we are now seeing with mass paranoa from the authorities!Les McLean said:.... This is political correctness gone stark raving bonkers and also an indication the the terrorists are winning.
