Make it illegal to film children in public without permission

Closed 32 signatures

What the petition asks

As a concerned parent, I have experienced the distressing reality of my children being recorded by strangers while they are walking to and from school. Despite reporting these incidents to the police, no action has been taken as this is not against the law. This is not an isolated incident.
