Can Someone Record You Without Your Permission? What You NEED To Know!
Over 98% of our population own a smartphone, and the temptation is high to instantaneously record and share something funny, entertaining or shocking. TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and other popular platforms are crowded with video recordings, good, bad and indifferent.
But is it illegal for someone to record you, and to use that recording without your permission?
In our latest informative episode, Hatti and senior Barrister Tim Sampson debunk the jargon and explain our laws around ‘individuals’ recording other individuals and posting and sharing, as always in plain and simple English.

Gadgets like baby monitors, televisions and speakers that are linked to the internet can often pose a risk because cyber criminals use them to hack home networks.
However, a new law coming into play called the Product Security and Telecommunications Infrastructure (PSTI) regime, will mean that manufacturers of these items need to follow stricter rules if they want to sell “smart” gadgets in the UK.
The new law brings three new requirements:
· password procedures must be more secure, including ensuring any set by the manufacturer are not left blank or using easy-to-guess choices like “12345”
· that there is clarity around how to report “bugs” or security problems that arise
· that manufacturers and retailers inform customers how long they will receive support, including software updates
Failure to meet these minimum requirements will trigger fines for the manufacturers.

One Punch Killers
One Punch Killers - a single blow resulting in a death, often when the perpetrator does not intend to kill, but nevertheless, a single punch that has a devastating effect.
So how do our laws view an unfortunate and unexpected criminal act, when the intention was not to kill?
Would the perpetrator be given any leniency in law? Controversy surrounds this topic; with questions being asked on ‘what is a fair price for someone to pay for causing a death, even though it could be unintended?’
In this episode, senior Barrister Simon Spence KC and I bring you interesting, insightful and jargon free conversation on this topic; as always in plain and simple English.

Same-sex couples in Thailand are eagerly planning weddings for later this year, after the Senate finally approved a landmark marriage equality law, paving the way for the country to become the first in southeast Asia to recognise same-sex marriage.
After years of campaigning the bill was passed by an overwhelming majority in the parliament’s upper house. A great move for equal rights.

UK driving laws could be changing.
According to plans from experts, new rules could be introduced that would require drivers to carry several vital safety items in their vehcile. This includes a first aid kit, reflective jackets, warning triangles and a fire extinguisher.
A number of countries including Greece, Romania and Croatia already require drivers to carry a first aid kit, whilst Switzerland, Austria and France enforce the need for warning triangles.

Jeremy Clarkson has managed to change the law for farmers, so there is now ‘officially’ a so called ‘Clarkson’s Clause’ amongst our UK laws, thanks to the efforts of the TV presenter and his Amazon Prime Video series, Clarkson’s Farm.
From the 21st May 2024, farmers no longer need to apply for planning permission to convert unused buildings into new homes or shops. The new law will give farmers across England greater freedom to diversify and grow their business.
Seeing a show help drive a genuine change in our laws, is truly amazing!

New restaurants, public toilets, shopping centres and offices in England will be required to have separate male and female toilets under proposed legislation.
The law will affect new and non-residential buildings as part of a push “ending the rise” of gender-neutral toilets.
A consultation highlighted concerns from women, elderly and disabled people who felt unfairly disadvantaged by toilets being converted into gender neutral facilities sharing cubicles and sinks. But transgender rights groups argue gender-neutral toilets can protect trans people from discrimination.
How do you feel about this new ruling coming into play?

Are you renting a property or looking to rent and finding that landlords are demanding big deposits?
Then you NEED to know this legal fact!
By law, tenants can only be charged a maximum of five weeks’ rent as a deposit. This increases to six weeks if your annual rent is £50,000 or more.
If you’re being asked for more than this, then your landlord is not acting within the law, and you should steer clear!

Last week, a NEW law was announced that will force manufacturers to protect consumers from hackers and cyber criminals.
The new rules mean that any device which has internet connectivity must, from now on, follow a new set of minimum requirements on passwords.
Whether it’s a games console, a smartphone or even a fridge! the government says manufacturers will be banned from allowing ‘weak’ passwords and users must be forced to change their password on first start-up.
What do you make of this new legislation? A step in the right direction to help make the online world safer? Or a painful addition that means a lot of admin?

Did you know that UK businesses are now required to pay overseas workers coming to the UK on a Skilled Worker visa significantly more?
The salary threshold for those arriving in the UK on such visa has now increased by a staggering 48% - from £26,200 to £38,700.
The government hopes this will clamp down on cut price foreign labour, and drive down net migration, whilst increasing the focus on recruiting highly-skilled workers to help grow the UK economy.
What do you make of this move?

Scotland has revised its Hate Crime and Public Order (Scotland) Act 2021 which now cites "stirring up hatred" relating to age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, transgender identity or being intersex, as a formally recognised crime which could incur a prison sentence.
Under the new law, a person who commits an offence, would be doing so if "a reasonable person would consider to be threatening or abusive," with the intention of stirring up hatred based on the protected characteristics.
Stirring up hatred based on race, colour, nationality, or ethnicity was already illegal in Great Britain under the Public Order Act 1986, however, in an attempt to streamline the criminal law in Scotland, that too is now part of the Hate Crime Act.
What do you make of this edit to the law? Some claim it infringes free speech but surely this helps to protect many vulnerable groups?

Hong Kong is set to fast-track a tough new national security law that imposes life imprisonment for treason, fuelling concerns that civil liberties are being eroded.
The proposed legislation targets any act of espionage, treason and foreign interference. It includes a maximum penalty of life imprisonment for crimes of treason or insurrection, whilst those found guilty of the theft of state secrets, face a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
In addition, the definition of state secrets has been broadened to include data on the economic, social, technological, or scientific development of Hong Kong or the mainland.

Last week the first person was jailed for cyber-flashing in the UK; it is now a crime.
Under the Online Safety Bill, which came into effect on the 31st January this year, exposing yourself or sending unwanted n**e photos over online platforms such as Hinge, WhatsApp, Snapchat or Facebook Messenger, will be considered an offence and perpetrators could face up to two years behind bars!
