toyotasuprauk Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Not sure on my take on this really. It certainly isn’t very professional, especially using CCTV that should be for looking for crime etc and they were total idiots for doing it, but jail time and being classed as sex offenders! I remember walking past a house in the marina to see two naked people getting some food in the kitchen doesnt make me a criminal. Having to sign the sex offenders act seems really harsh to me, and to say “the women’s life has almost been ruined, her self-confidence entirely destroyed” is she having a laugh? This is one case where I think the justice system has been too harsh and it’s not often in England that happens, you hear of people that have stolen 46 cars before they do any jail time.

Pete Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 They were looking at her for an awfully long time. I do wonder how it got reported though. Jail time is pathetic and I wouldn't call it a sex offence as such. It's not like he was streaming it to the Internet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lust2luv Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 The ironic thing is that they were caught by a CCTV camera in the control room! How come a council CCTV control room has a large plasma sceen anyway? No wonder our council tax bills are so high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 I see... I guess that answers who watches the watchers. (but who watches the watchers watching the watchers?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Kin ell, most blokes would have a look if they happened to notice something like that on their cctv, wouldnt ever think you would be put on sex offenders list and thrown in jail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 It's obviously morally wrong, but has she never heard of curtains? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlotte Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 It's obviously morally wrong, but has she never heard of curtains?

garethr Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 or maybe there are just too many CCTV cameras in Britain. If there is an afterlife, George Orwell must be telling everyone who'll listen "I told you so!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoffvalenti Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Although it must have been extremely embarassing and unpleasant for the woman being viewed, to give out jail time, and place the culprits on the sex offenders list is just a gross over reaction to the situation. If they had been watching naked children, then maybe it was warranted, but grown men watching a grown woman, I'd have thought that it was natural, if a bit rude, behaviour. It amazes me that we are fed all this "fly on the wall" TV at every opportunity by the media, a couple of guys do a similar thing, albeit misusing their positions of trust, and the legal system throws the book at them.

roboldham Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 yeh good call Geoff - out of all male CCTV operators in the country, what % would you say had a naughty story to tell or even a stash of personal favourites. There is one programme on Sky that is literally just CCTV footage of people "behaving naturally", back to back snippets of shagging basically. What's the difference?

roboldham Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 yar, it's just not fair - 99.2% of men are all voyeurs anyway, I think we're being marginalised. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
