Edit: Apologies, I was wrong here due to the personal use exemption to the DPA. Uploading images to public forums could be an issue, though.

> Same as anyone using a Go-Pro. Can you go into some more details? Does this mean that tourists technically can't wander around with a go-pro strapped to their chest without registering, or does this apply only to UK citizens - and does it mean that they can't do that when visiting London? How far does that stretch? Does taking a video on a phone count?

As far as I can see, that applies to organizations, not individuals. https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protection/key-definitions/ https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/guide-to-data-protectio...

Pretty sure he's not. There are "personal use" exemptions that seem like they would apply. Not sure though, but if in the past ~20 years, if there is not a case of someone breaking the law by using a gopro or other camera for personal use, seems like it's a non-issue.
