John E. replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"Hi Steve, I think your training is correct and you are right - the only difference is that you are acting for an organization rather than as an individual, thus are subject to those laws. As an individual with a a camera on your helmet I…"
brian smith replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"As a person in a very public industry it is easy to blame biased print and eletronic media as for being rat asred cop out i do not think so i do not see how it would be only rats are those in the Media industry."
Steve Jay replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?""The Media" are just people doing a job. For example, would you expect Charlie Pickering (an avid cyclist apparently) to put an anti-bicycle slant to a story, or Will Hagen to put an anti-motoring slant to one. It's easy to blame the…"
Steve Jay replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"Oh, and thinking about the aspect of video on a bike helmet. By all means have one, just cover yourself (in both senses of this term ;-) with indication that you are recording your journey so that others may give thought to their next action. Your…"
Steve Jay replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"I'll stand corrected.
I only know what I've been taught in my media job for the past 25 years. (Probably gives away who I work for, too. Oh well.) If the other party says stop recording, you must stop recording, whether you're a…"

John E. replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"This might help......my impression is that Federal privacy laws pertain to organizations and authorities, not individuals. Much of the Victorian law does too, but (from a blog so it is not the final word):
Victoria
You can't use an optical…"

Debra-Jayne replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"So I met with the council guy. He told me the police had brought up my incident at a debriefing meeting, using it as an example of the lack of free-way lane for people who need to access the place for reasons other than the festival in a safe…"
John E. replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"Steve, which part of the act says this? I would be interested to see it. The Office of the Australian Privacy Commissioner says: "The Privacy Act does not cover individuals acting in a personal capacity,"
The Victorian act says you…"
Steve Jay replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"Fact, Federal Privacy Laws affect evidence gathered by unnotified cameras. It can be classified as eavesdropping, even if you are a party to a conversation, if other parties are not informed you are recording them. If you record evidence, have a…"
Chris Harris replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"yes i think the "news" circus definately plays a part in this sort of thing.

Debra-Jayne replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"Well, initially I received an email from the council saying they would refer my complaint to the very female person who was involved in the incident. I wrote back and told them I was not interested in a response from that particular person (I…"
ChrisS replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"Just reading through this, that's an appalling way for that man to behave, especially over reacting to simply moving through a crowd. Invariably some people have very low impulse control & even lower thresholds, funnily enough…"
Debra-Jayne replied to Debra-Jayne's discussion Is the media inciting hatred against cyclists?"I like that idea. Such a shame that it will come down to this. Will look into it. Do you have any of the hi def camera recording posted anywhere that we can see?
