DJ seems quite harmless and mild mannered compared to those other psycho auditors.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

@zapbrannigan000 In this very video you are commenting on, he was trespassing. In the last video I did on him, another recent visit, he committed aggravated trespass. I will say that, lately, he has adopted a less aggressive approach to his auditing and mostly stopped trespassing, but it's a veneer. In the recent past, he has assaulted a security guard, threatened people, committed aggravated trespass on virtually every visit and so on.

Is `auditing' not about trying to get a reaction so you can post a video on your monetised channel?

[@three-phase562]

25:46 pretty much sums up the mentality. He doesn't believe, or want to believe, that there are any consequences to his behaviour towards this company. He can't honestly think that the company won't be able to find out who is, or maybe he thinks they won't care? Given his position though, if someone does decide to take action, he has considerably more to loose than the average KZbin auditor out there. If you want to do this kind of thing, then you need to be squeaky clean about it and everything you do.

[@mdmoore100]

It needs a civil claim from a big player like Amazon and its staff to succeed, 100 grand settlement plus court costs and injunction. Get Land Registry charge put on his house. That kind of thing will severely curtail auditors as word will get around and they won’t like having to provide details as data controllers, I suspect many would just pack it in.

drones are used by auditors so that they can get a reaction as they know that companies feel uncomfortable about it...what is so interesting about an industrial estate from above? i have never thought of taking drone footage of an industrial estate...they are all the same.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

I would add to that by saying that, of course, industrial estates can be interesting. I can understand a genuine drone user wanting to undertake a similar activity, but a genuine person would go about it entirely differently - that is the real point, I believe. I can't help but wonder if there is something 'psychological' about auditors' use of drones, as if it's a quite literal way for them to 'look down' on people and a way of feeling powerful. I've noticed most of them have a complex expressed in a thinly-disguised contempt for working people.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

Whether you have to give your details depends on what you're doing. If you're just filming or photographing as a hobby, you're exempt. Even if monetised, if you're a photographer, you're likely still exempt, and anyway, if you're not harassing anybody, I can understand a reluctance to give out personal information. I would be wary of giving out my details to random people. The point is that what auditors do surely puts a greater onus on them to be transparent and stick to the letter of the requirements - especially given that they call themselves 'auditors'.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

@Dave250490 As a practical matter, they will just go in to any road or street they see without regard for whether they have a right or permission to access. It's unlikely there would be much of a practical remedy for owners, as they leave once the photography is done and nothing in the public images on Google Street View is likely to compromise privacy. You do sometimes see the blurring effect in photos on Google Street View. I use it a lot and it's commonly found at certain sensitive sites in London, but you occasionally find it on private roads as well.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

I agree but just to be clear, typically a photographer would not require consent - either because he is exempt (special purposes exemption) or because he has a 'legitimate interest' that overrides privacy (the Article 6(1)(f) argument), but in this case - as you say - he does really need their consent or he is risking legal action. That's before we get into the fact he is on a private road. I've been very generous to him in allowing that he had implied permission to be there, but a court may not be so generous.

Might be worth looking at dj audits visiting a place in london that might be putting Iranian dissidents at serious risk. 16:30 I'm not sure that's right. I think those barriers are only there to control the speed of vehicles entering and exiting because it's also a crossing. Any vehicle approaching the barriers would have to stop to allow them to open. The barriers help ensure safety, hence why they've had over 800 days since an incident. I think if they were there to also ensure that only those permitted to access the site can gain entry then they would need to be barriers that only open with a card swipe or opened manually be a controller at a security office/desk/reception. Or at least be accompanied by prominent signage stating something like "Authorised access only". I don't think "Journalist" and "photographer" are defined in law. They are subjective terms. 26:17 I think anyone could arbitrarily claim part 5 exemptions.

[@s.wilson5675]

Surely, in the UK it isn't illegal to film someone in a public place without their consent unless the video is recorded for nefarious purposes. The "public place" here may be debatable as you detail at the beginning. I also believe the footpath to be a slip hazard due to the look of the surface which may have organic growth on it. The company footpath looks recently cleaned on their side of the gate, I'd be interested to see who's responsible for this; estate management or local council? "From abooooove" is DJ's catchphase akin to "Shut that door", "Just like that" and "Ooh Betty". He's quite a celebrity and is easily recognised with his green bottoms. Admit it, you're jealous. I've never seen another vehicle access barrier raising when a pedestrian approaches it as this would be dangerous, allowing foot traffic to potentially walk into the path of vehicular traffic.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

@s.wilson5675 I haven't said it is illegal to record somebody without their consent. If you watch the video, I outline the remedies and enforcement action available against DJ Audits. Calling me 'jealous' is just name-calling. It's not an argument. Your point about the vehicle barrier makes no sense. Whether the barrier is raised or not, a pedestrian should look before crossing and a driver should only enter if it's clear. That's just basic common sense.

[@tonyb1223]

Commercial photography has more rules attached to it, if I were just to go round and film industrial estates and not put them anywhere or make money off them, not a problem, this is covered by the household/personal use part of GDPR where you are exempt, the second you start making money as a commercial venture, you lose that because it is no longer for personal use and you become subject to GDPR. These guys are not going to tell you that, they are all in denial that GDPR does not cover them but are happy to take the money. This is why, if you want to do photography and understand what you can and cannot do, you follow photographers, auditors are not photographers in that sense, they don't do it for the love of it, they do it to make money and get reactions, the reaction part is something that photographers do not seek, these guys do, and until those who think you can do anything you want with a camera understand that there are restrictions and responsibilities that go with what you are doing, the better and less impact it will have on laws that will be brought in to curb photography, because at the moment the only reason we keep getting new laws added is because people are NOT being responsible for their own actions (up skirting was one such law that was recently brought in due to lack morals and personal responsibility).

Some of the comments people are making on this video are hilarious as they clearly have no clue about the law, especially data protection. I read some of the comments saying that DJ Audits is not a company or organisation so he is not subject to GDPR... the definition of "controller" in the UK GDPR explicitly states that it extends to individuals as well as companies 😂 what numpties. Anyway I enjoyed your breakdown of the video particularly the data protection point. My only criticism would be that you very quickly glossed over the fact that DJ Audits doesn't fall within special purposes exemption without actually explaining why. I understand that many of these auditors consider themselves to be journalists when publishing videos on KZbin that contains personal data and therefore feel they are exempt from complying with rights of data subjects (either that or they don't know or can explain why). Your opinion on why you feel he is not exempt would have been useful, perhaps reference to the exemption provision and the conditions for relying on it, as well as the ICO's Journalism Code of Practice and especially the ECJ Court case of Buivids v. Datu valsts inspekcija, Case C-345/17 particularly as the court confirms that uploading a video to the internet could constitute processing personal data for journalistic purposes if the uploading was for the purpose disclosure of information, opinions or ideas to the public. Of course that decision was made under Directive 95/46 but will nonetheless likely remain applicable to the UK GDPR. Maybe a separate video for that specific topic.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

@Rob-om4fe Thank you for your comment. I have gone into the relevance of the special purposes exemption before in different videos and in different ways. One thing to note is that it turns on each specific instance of processing personal data. It is usually not correct to apply the exemption as an umbrella for an auditor to shield all his activities in a video from the rigors of data protection. It is more a case of asking questions such as: If this processing is claimed to be for the purpose of artistic photography or journalism, is the decision not to blur this particular individual justifiable in the public interest? And would blurring the individual detract from the claimed special purpose? I actually do ask that question quite often in the videos. It is a matter of judgement and a converse of the above is that we can look at the auditor's general activity to infer his likely motivations and intentions, which in turn informs the legitimacy of what he is doing. I think it is possible that sometimes an auditor could rest on a 'journalism' argument, and sometimes the 'photography' exemption can be invoked, but my position is that what auditors do is of such a nature - involving, as it does, civil wrongs and often criminal acts, and also disregarding data protection (there are still requirements, even with the exemption) - that it will be only infrequently that they can rely on the special purposes exemption. If, let's say, an investigative journalist engages in criminal acts or civil wrongs such as trespass, there surely has to be a compelling public interest that is relevant to the subject matter for that journalist to be availed of the privilege of an exemption from statutory requirements. It's a matter of weighing things up. Does the wrong-doing by the journalist justify uncovering wrong-doing by others, thereby allowing the journalist to claim that his activity was journalism for data protection purposes? Applying that line of thinking to auditing, does filming a mundane ice cream factory on an industrial estate justify potentially revealing the identity of an ordinary staff member to all the world and even humiliating that person for the amusement of others? If it was a crowded street, I think the exemption would be easier to apply, but if it's in a context where someone can be identified, it becomes harder to apply it, the onus on the data controller/processor is greater, and if he can't even be bothered to register as a data controller despite being paid for these activities, that doesn't instill confidence. Bear in mind in all this that the absence of an exemption does not deny the auditor of any of his essential rights. He can still undertake his obnoxious activities, if he wishes. He is not under any prior restraint in general. But it does mean that the people he films and broadcasts have greater scope for recourse against him under data protection.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

TL,DR version of all that is: When the English and European judiciary in their ivory towers refer to 'citizen vloggers' as potentially being availed of the journalism exemption for data protection purposes, I’m pretty sure they don’t have the activities of auditors in mind (people they are probably not even aware of at this point). Of course, there will be instances when an auditor can justifiably claim the exemption, but it will be infrequent that this happens, given the nature of what auditing involves. Obviously the caveat is that this is a dynamic situation: the nature and methods of auditing may change in response to legal critiques like mine (it already has - several auditors have taken on board what I have been saying and tweaked their methods). (That TD,DR turned into another long post). I do have a video planned on this topic. It is provisionally entitled, 'Is DJ Audits A Citizen Journalist?', but it won't be out until well into the new year. I can't work on this channel full-time, as I have a business to run, etc., so a lot of the things I would like to do will take a long time or never get done at all.

[@Rob-om4fe]

Just to be clear, I am not disputing what you are suggesting and inclined to agree with you but just playing devil's advocate in trying to give a more balanced view as opposed to the commenters here who suggest you might be obsessed up or bullying DJ Audits (not the case by the way). As you say, I do think that may be scope for so-called auditors to possibly rely on the journalistic exemption insofar as the original purpose of these types of auditors, but it seems that the scope of it has materially changed to suit each own auditor's agenda such as you describe, mainly antagonistic, humiliation etc. There will come a time where one of the popular auditors will get sued for one reason or another, be it data protection breaches or trespass or some unlawful reason and cost them financially, though I have very little sympathy. Anyhow, if you do plan on publishing that video I will be interested to watch it and listen to your thoughts.@@streetvideoreviewer

You need to go and look at photography laws, you have zero clue. Dj does not work for an organisation, thus data controller registration is no required.

[@slalomsteve]

Are you sure about that? I've been curious about this and would be interested if anyone knows the answer. If you are making money from youtube then this would need to be declared for tax purposes? And if that's the case wouldn't you need a registered company? No idea what the law is around this buy would be interested to know.

He works for our government, you buffoon.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

@videomania666 You are completely wrong. I have already explained this on the channel. An individual KZbinr who is monetised is a sole trader and therefore subject to data protection. This is confirmed on the ICO's own site and is supported by the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, which unlike you, I have actually read. Where in the UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018 does it support your position? Where?

[@streetvideoreviewer]

@@slalomsteve You do not need to form a company just to earn money. You can be a sole trader or partnership, which is individuals working for themselves. Sole traders and partnerships that process personal data are subject to data protection, and under certain circumstances (it does depend on the type of personal data they process), they may be subject to the requirement to register as data controllers. I hope that clears it up.

[@harpic4]

He is a private individual, and does not need to be GDPR compliant. This law only applies to companies. Anywhere that is publicly accessible, he can go. There is implied right of access. I suggest you read section 33 of the Criminal Justice Act 1972. He can enter an open gate and remain until asked to leave, just like anyone else. At this point, he can state that he understands that he is now trespassing, and will leave when he is ready. Trespass is a civil matter, therefore the police cannot become involved unless it becomes an aggravated trespass. If he is then physically removed, as long as he doesn’t fight back, this is assault on the 3rd party’s part, and as they are part of a company, not only does it give the company a bad name, but it also leaves the individuals concerned open to an assault charge, risk to their job, as well as a compensation payout from the company involved for their behaviour.

[@streetvideoreviewer]

You're wrong in almost-everything you say here. I explain the law in my videos. I do have to think about whether to ban people like you from here, because you're making incorrect statements and ultimately it is dangerous because these people are heading for trouble. It's like being on a bike maintenance forum and somebody insisting that it's OK to leave the wheel skewers loose and then wondering why they can't post there anymore.

As soon as he is told to leave and refuses, "reasonable force" may be used. This is a tricky area and most are cautious about this, but if I were security, I'd tell him to leave and if by the 3rd time I would mention that I am going to use reasonable force to eject him. Any resistance could be classed as assault, so it goes both ways.

Did you make up that nonsense about the barrier? There's very little point in a barrier that opens for anyone.

Yes there is. The barrier has been put there precisely for that purpose: to open for anybody, and it indicates that no unauthorised persons are to proceed further. While I've got you, how long have you been a fan of DJ Audits? Do you have one of his keyrings yet? Just what would you do to get a keyring? How desperate are you, on a scale of 1 to 10? Do you sit at your desk at 3.59 p.m. every day slavering and drooling while you wait for his latest upload to hit KZbin?
