No one said that it wouldn’t work. Just that it might result in someone being attacked and also that you could get yourself in trouble. Just because it would work doesn’t mean it’s not a stupid idea.

It's a bit of a weird thing to be worried about isn't it? I mean if you or your children were obviously the main focus that would likely be odd, but if they're just in the background.... Even if you or the children were the main focus/they were a 'candid photographer' so to speak then this would still be lawful in most instances.

What are they filming? If it's them doing fancy skateboard tricks and there happens to be children in the background then that is different to just filming children playing.

Have ypu seen evidence tha theyhave been published. You do not need permission to film or photograph anyone even children, but you do to publish them usuallyT

I'd ask the local police to stop the local youtuber filming kids in the playground .

Is he a parent/ teacher/ local tv news camera man- are the children running around him, is he peering thorugh a hedge, is he posting a live video, is he a known danger to children etc etc etc more info please.

They don't need consent.

It's perfectly legal to film and take photographs in public places.

Can you post a link to the YouTube channel.

What’s their content?

Is it more that they are filing themselves doing tricks etc and the kids are just in the background?

Filming

This but play it on your phone

Are you actually going to give any more context?

You’d waste the polices time to come out over something that isn’t illegal? Rather than remote your children from an entirely legal situation that you don’t like?

OP, of course you are in your right to ask. But they can refuse.

Legal or not, someone filming kids that aren’t their own doesn’t sit well with me. I would ask them to stop.

Wonder do you live near me....

It's even just walking around the local shops and with loads of people in his content.

A measured response. :/

OP you need to clarify WHAT this person is actually filming, what is shown on their youtube channel, which you surely must know if you know they're a 'known youtuber'.

If they are filming kids, whilst that is not illegal, what they DO with that footage may be.

If they're filming perfectly legitimate stuff and kids happen to be around, tell your kids not to get in shot, its likely they edit out obviously identifiable kids anyway.

Why assume "he"?

Blippi?

It’s extremely easy to remove specific back ground noises even with free software. A professional YouTuber will probably know how to do this.

Eben without removing any background singing all it needs is a disclaimer on the YouTube video giving credit to who owns the music.

if the original owner doesn’t agree they send a cease and desist as well as letting YouTube know.

Come back op and give us the relevant information. Are they filming in a park where there just happens to be children playing who may or may not be in the background; or are they deliberately filming children?

Good call.

Years ago my friend who is a nature photographer was taking picture of a spiders web in a kids playground. He ended up being asked to show his photos to the police as a parent had called them and reported him as appearing to be wearing quick-release trousers - presumably for flashing - he obviously wasn’t, he was wearing normal jeans! I’m guessing the parent just didn’t feel comfortable with him having a camera near a playground. But it has made my friend feel anxious about taking photos where kids are. A shame for him and his art, but probably made the anxious parent feel better.

So many assumptions on this thread. Man? School playground?

The only youtubers I know in real life are a marrried heterosexual couple and all the ones I watch are women or couples.
