    It can be used for journalistic purposes, I only wrote that it couldn’t if you obtained the data illegally.

    Being handed said data by an independent informant would be a legal way to obtain said data.

    Law is weird.

      ok well yeah so whats the point of making someone delete the video? surely they could just hand it off to journalists and THEN delete it, and then what’s the point.

      to some extent I understand that there must be consequences to illegally filming on private property, but I just dont understand what possible rationalle there could be to force a purpotrator to delete said footage. It seems to send the completely wrong message
