A woman from Vancouver found photos and footages of herself circulating online. But the thing is she does not know that these were being taken at all.<\/p>\n

In a report by CityNews, Amanda Geischen, in an interview shared that she feels \u201cunsafe\u201d after discovering a Tiktok account posted a video of her walking and suggestively focusing on particular parts of her body. All this, without knowing.<\/p>\n

Geischen said that it is an invasion of privacy.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cNot even just for the photos that were posted of me on social media on an account I\u2019m not aware of, actually on multiple accounts I\u2019m not aware of, but also in the sense that this person followed me home,\u201d she said in the interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey know where I live. They know where I go,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Geischen elaborated that she found several videos, one with her walking her dog, and another of her shopping.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even know how they got those angles. I don\u2019t even know how I didn\u2019t notice that there was someone that close to me,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The footages were also traced back to a website where it can be purchased. Hundreds of more women were caught in the hidden cameras as well.<\/p>\n

However, CityNews\u2019s interview with International CyberCrime Research Centre Director Richard Frank revealed that this is not exactly a crime.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people being videotapes might feel threatened, in which case it\u2019s leading up to assault. But aside from that, they\u2019re recording in public, and that doesn\u2019t seem to be a crime,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Frank said that it is a different case if minors are involved, however, it \u201ccan be difficult\u201d to prove that someone is minor in some footages.<\/p>\n

Aside from this, the director also said that depending on the country that the person or website is located in, \u201cthere a good chance we can actually reach that person, or ask for the content to be removed from that server.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in the same report, Sgt. Aaron Roed of the Vancouver Police Department said that \u201cVoyeurism and people taking photos is a very gray area and we don\u2019t want people to investigate themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to Roed, taking photographs in public is not illegal and every incident is going to be taken on its own merit.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut if they are taking it in a way where safety may be an issue, with children, or taken in a sexually explicit manner, we want the Vancouver Police to be aware, to be noticed so we can attend and investigate these incidents,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
