[Closed] Filming someone in their own home. Is it legal with another person's permission?

Theoretically, and just out of curiosity, if a husband/wife wanted to covertly film their other half in their own house, could you legally do it with their permission? Technically you couldn't be done for trespassing as you'd been invited in by one of the home owners. Don't all get excited though, I'm not a stalker, it was just something that (randomly) popped into my head the other night.

I assume the argument is you are filming your private property [ the building not the spouse] so it is legal

I think they mean the permission of one of them [ the client] but not the other [ the spyed on]

I mean without the persons permission (who is being filmed) but with the permission of the other "inquisitive" party?

If they live there even if they don't own the property itself, no..
Otherwise (some) landlords would take the piss..
If they don't live there then yes, apart from bathrooms and bedrooms where it'd be an invasion of their privacy
The same as care workers and suchlike who work and sleepover in people's homes..

I'd prefer to say I have an inquisitive mind. 😀

A bloke got sent to prison for making movies of his wife (and previous girlfriends) whilst he was giving them the benefit of his pink wisdom.

Surely no one would give a landlord permission to film in the first place though? I would imagine a signed document would be needed to make it 100% legal? I've just had a thought though. How do these TV programmes get away with leaving hidden cameras in hospitals etc to highlight bad treatment of patients?

I'll only be interested in this thread if action is taken.

And photos.

I think (it was a nurse doing it for the BBC IIRC?) she was fired and struck off the nursing register (later overruled on appeal, again IIRC).

There are massive hoops to jump through, but it boils down to whether it's in the public interest.

What would be done with the footage in your example...
I'm not sure, but I feel that if you had hired a private detective to investigate your partner covert recording would form part of the evidence gathering process.
If you just want to stick it on YouTube because they do daft things when hoovering you're on sticky ground unless you get permission from the individual
Right to privacy and all that..
