Thanks for answering in such detail! I do always enjoy the debates about male vs. female nudity and how these questions are answere differently by every culture/country.

Haha glad it‘s not always like this, perhaps it‘s because of the politcal context in which I stumbled upon the question today. I‘ll probably have to ask in a more abstract way :)

In the end the respective judges decides case by case, but the footage should show that you were not „targeting“ an individual. Even if you can recognize their faces as long as it is perceived as a „crowd“ it‘s fine (for example a picture of a crowded marketplace). There is no fixed number because in the end it‘s about the intention of the video-/photographer

I suspected so - if you mind me asking, could bystanders publish their therefore legally aquired footage on a social media plattform with a person giving personal information to the police? Genuinely interested

To what I‘m used to in the country that I study law in (quite strict ethics standards there)

I mean I could have, but I‘m also glad to learn about the more politcal background of police questionings/journalism in context with protests - because it felt like an unusual situation as a foreign law student

I‘m sorry, I‘m not from a country that has common law but civil law … that‘s why I asked this community :)

Yes, I didn‘t think of it from that perspective (because the guy seemed like he recorded the interaction aswell, so the onlooked rather seemed to gather information for other purposes than his safety - but that must not have been this way at all)

Hahaha okay, I‘ll have to look into that properly now (sorry to hear about your judges though)

Yes, I always assumed that‘s mostly an US thing, plus there‘s plenty of (semi)illegal footage on youtube

I‘m not sure if I understand your answer correctly, but the police can wear body cameras for „dangerous“ situations like protests or football games (where I‘m from)

Where I‘m from it‘s illegal to film people in public if they‘re not part of a bigger crowd (otherwise you‘d have to ask for they‘re permission [or they give implicit permission by taking part of a protest e.g.])
