You always bring up "the law". It does not exist.
I think that only applies if you are making money off it. Youtube has all kinds of videos of strangers filming eachother. But they couldn't legally put the clips together and sell them on a DVD.
If you couldn't film strangers, the news would be just talking and no film clips. :shrug:
Not this again. Can't you people come up with something better ?
Something better? Its a valid point. You keep on with the same 'animals are better than people' spiel, so we say "quit eating them if you care so much"
and you know this how? :bugeye: Got any proof? A link to the law that says that?
MadAnt is right.
orleander do you realise you are a pain in the ass?
do you also realise that alot of our laws are in the form of common law which is almost impossable to find?
anway this is a disscussion paper on the issue prepared for the atorny generals
if you wish to read it go ahead

of course they are. I wonder why the paparazzi runs around taking pics of people on public property. I wonder why they aren't in jail. hmmmm, maybe because IT'S NOT ILLEGAL!
orelander let me show you something
this is the crimes act for victoria
http://www.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/vic/consol_act/ca195882/
now not all criminal law is even covered in that, most is but some is contained in common law or other pieces of legislation. this is just for one state and doesnt even cover federal criminal legislation either only that which is a crime which state legislation covers.
now im no lawyer, but there are at least 9 of these, one for each of the 6 states, 2 territories and one for the commonwealth

I have no idea what your point is. To prove there is a law against photographing people in public, you show a list of illegal acts, even though photographing people in public isn't on the list???
You're right. You are no lawyer....well, with all the confusing off topic double speak, I think you'd make a good one. Or a good politician.

What the hell Asguard?
No, it is not illegal to photograph a member of the public without their consent. There are restrictions on photographing children in public places however, but in most instances, said restrictions are put in place by the local councils or private organisations that run a particular event or place.
There is a clause in this however and your own link above touched on this.
Ergo, it is not illegal to photograph people in public, so long as it is not deemed to be menacing, harrassment (eg stalking) or offensive (eg. taking photos of children getting changed at the beach or the upskirt type of photos, as well as taking photos of topless sunbathers at the beach).
If you want some more comprehensive reading on the matter, you can read the following link.

It could be. But then again, the people having sex in public could and would be deemed offensive. For example, someone could capture your photo as you're bonking your other half in a public park and then take said photo to the police to have you identified and charged with public indecency. And no, that individual taking that photo would not be breaking the law.
There are a lot of gray areas when it comes to this subject. So you can't make blanket statements about it being illegal.
at the end of the day i bow to your knowlage as you know what your talking about. however i did find this:
now on one hand this artical suggests your right that unauthorised photography legislation is still being written. At the same time however it suggests that the sort of photography we are talking about is already against the law
Thats not to mention the fact that from my lay reading of the stawking legislation in victoria it could be used quite easerly to procute someone who took photos of someone without there concent even if it only happened on a single occasion
however as i said, your the expert

LOL, this from a boy who lacks basic spelling skills. Yes, yes, I know. Its not your fault.
So, if you know people are taking pics of you having sex in the park, will you still be doing it? Is that what it would take to stop you? Sounds like an idea for parents to consider.
Not this again. Can't you people come up with something better ?
So, do you eat people, er I mean animals?
my oldest 2 already know, my youngest is just to young to know, and i will keep it that way for a while.
when my oldest kids found out we said that its what some adults do and we enjoy it,
Swinging?
What is Swinging?
Its been said that swinging is "social and sexual intercourse with someone other than your partner, with the full knowledge and consent of that person."
Many confuse swinging with wife swapping (swapping) as a lot of swingers are not married or may be single. A lot of swingers like to think of it as swinging for fun, that enjoy sex, meeting people as a opposed to a steady monogomous relationship with one person.
Swinging is a a popular recreational activity for broad minded adults. The most common method is an adult male & female couple, meeting other couples for sex and sometimes ongoing intimate relationships.
In a nutshell swinging is about having sex with other people, it may take many forms;
Parties/Orgies with partner swapping or group sex
Gang Bangs
Couples meeting up and having sex with each other
Watching your partner get bonked by lots of people
Specialist swinging ie; finding swingers with fetishes to play out fantasies
Swinging is also known as the lifestyle or the scene, swinging may take on a wide variety of different forms.
Swinging clubs may be either on-premises or off-premises. At On-Premises, you may interact sexually with others at an event, for off-premises you would arrange at an event and go back to a house or somewhere else with other people.
Swinging gained more awareness and grew in the 1960's, aided by the availability of better contraceptives and a more progressive outlook by the nation as a whole. Hence the phrase 'The Swinging 60's'.
Good communication is essential to avoid disappointment, often its a good idea to find out what is expected when meeting blind to avoid unpleasant encounters.
More often than not one partner would be interested in swinging but have no idea how the partner would react, rather then arranging a meet than springing it your spouse at the last minute, engage them in chat about their fantasy's and see how they react when you mention 4 in a bed scenarios. Steered towards this area other a period you have a better chance of success.
There's a big difference between swinging and cheating, as most swingers are open and honest with their partners they are unlikely to be receptive to people cheating on their partners in order to have sex. Most of the swinginging community is made up with like minded swinging couples that like to share, unfortunately there are a lot of single males that try topget into the action and its not unknown for a single male to turn up to a swinging partner without a partner using the old 'she couldn't make it excuse'. Single women and single bi-sexual women are generally welcome at most clubs, single men and bi-sexual single men are to a lesser extent.
Many people starting off in the swinging world to try get their freinds involved, you should remember that what is fun and seems natural to you may not be for them, better to ask yourself if you are maying to risk loosing their freindship. Another thing to consider when encouraging people you know to engage in the swinging lifestyle is that if you end up having sex with them on a regualr basis emotions could come into play and this could lead to complications.
Remember, everyone has the right to say no, if you meet someone and for whatever reason find them not suitab;e be honest and tell them why as tactfully as you can. This is a twoo way thing so don't be too upset or offended if it happens to you, it goes with the territory.
Nowadays there are more risks, we cover that on another part of the site, condoms reduce the risks considerably but there are other things you may catch or that may be transmitted so be careful.
We hope you enyoyed our 'About Swinging - What is Swinging' page and that it met up to your expectation and our description ie:
What is Swinging - Covered in detail by www.about-swinging.co.uk, swinging is social and sexual intercourse with someone other than your partner...... Why not vist our pals to read swinger articles there is a wealth of information on the site and a strong community , I'vefound it a good place to meet other swingers.

So, do you eat people, er I mean animals?
Yes, but very little. Probably a fraction of your meat consumption.
