Problematic preachers Bellenden Rd

[Lamusica]

Bit of a rant. It's bad enough having three  people insist on shouting the bible at everyone by the shops, as they stand in front of Fika cafe. But that aside, I very obviously tried to avert my head from the camera they've set up, but the camera man panned round and made sure he got me on film. I don't want to be filmed by some random person against my will. Surely I have a right not to be?

If you’re in a public place, your image is available for public consumption. 
But you would have a legitimate grievance if you found it was being misused

That's awful. Did you complain to this man?

I take it they’re not connected to Fika or any other business? Just looking for a busy area to preach?

No , I'm pretty sure they're not connected to any of the businesses there

Just walked past and they were still there. Thankfully not ranting as much and keeping the filming personal.

Are they connected to a local church? 

What do they rant about?

At least you can cross the road and get away. What I really object to is the people who do it at bus stops, and worse still on buses.

In the latter case, I did once  ask them to STFU. It was so long ago, I can't remember if they did.
