Under the law as I read it, this would not count, as it was not filmed by the person committing the abhorrent violent conduct (or who arranged/aided/counselled etc the act).
An example that might illustrate what you are considering could be a police officer murdering a civilian. The footage captured by their body-cam would be unable to be shown or shared. In this example, whether it was murder or not would be (likely) up for debate, but perhaps during a protest you agreed with, some people were killed. This would be a challenging situation for the law.
- tqi 8y agoThanks for the clarification. I'm having a hard time understanding why the person filming it makes a difference, if the goal is to gain attention and spread a message of hate / fear. This legislation, and the recent media focus on the video rather than the actual act itself, makes me uneasy.
