SA to outlaw indecent filming

SA to outlaw indecent filming :

"It would be an offence to film or photograph someone for the sexual gratification of the person filming or others, where the person being filmed is in a state of undress or engaged in a private act, and where the person does not consent to being filmed."

I am pleased to hear this. But what about all the stuff which is plastered on the TV? I feel sorry, really sorry for the family and friends of Diane Brimble. I was pleased to see someone had brought the mother and sister some flowers because they were having to listen to all of that. It is not really for us to listen to, not is it for us to watch. The mother and sister are very strong and dignified that they have gone through all of this because that was their family and she has been plastered all over the media for us all to observe and comment on. I think families need to have more rights and at least have an opportunity to be consulted before we all get in their and watch their private business. I don't like it, as you may have gathered. Maybe the case should be sparsely dealt with and discussed after any judgement is made so the families are treated with more dignity and respect.
