Is it acceptable (or legal) to take a video recording in an Unisex bathroom without seeking consent?

There's a video on social media where a woman uses an Unisex toilet for the first time in her life and appears both fascinated and concerned for women's safety at the same time.

She enters filming and interviews the men and women she passes. They smile and positively respond but this could be because of nervousness at having a camera pointed at them.

I have used Unisex toilets and have never had any problems. I would however take objection to someone entering and filming, and I would be reporting it to the store security and police.

An empty unisex bathroom - no particular issue that I have thought of. People in a bathroom - no unless they had actively volunteered and were the only people there (so volunteered outside and entered to be filmed, not asked ‘do you mind?’ as they appeared from a cubicle).

I presume you mean in the UK, op? Hard to say if it's legal if you can't say which jurisdiction!

I don't think it's acceptable unless specific circumstances e g a crime is taking place.

Would think it's not acceptable to film other people in any bathroom, unisex or single sex.
