Prohibit the filming of people in the workplace without consent

What the petition asks

We want the Government to make it illegal for people to film workers in their workplace without consent.
Self-proclaimed 'auditors' are recording and publishing footage of people in their workplace. We believe this should not be allowed.

These 'auditors' sometimes film through windows, enter premises, and even start confrontations then put it on social media where they can earn money, and people featured in videos can be belittled by viewers. New legislation should be put in place to prohibit this.
