U.K. Judge Affirms Legality Of Public-Submitted Road Crime Footage In Landmark Ruling A judge has ruled that motorists and cyclists can legally share videos with police, dismissing a lawsuit from a retired solicitor.

In August I wrote an exclusive about a case where a women solicitor tried to get a driving conviction thrown out by claiming against the cyclist who filmed her offence. www.forbes.com/sites/carlto...

Your last chance to see the Outsiders exhibition in its current form will be at Street Level Photoworks, Glasgow in April/May. That isn’t the end though as I’m developing a powerful new exhibition on homelessness, in collaboration with another photographer, which will be shown in Leeds in 2027.
