You are being watched at all times and everywhere. Surveillance cameras hang on every corner of the house, drones will soon be buzzing over every flower meadow. And modern cars are constantly filming everything that happens around them with cameras.
The Glassy Man. Already reality. Meanwhile, you catch yourself looking nervously around when you throw your three morning coffee behind a tree during a walk in the woods.
Even if you visit a sports stadium, you are constantly being watched. To a certain extent that is understandable, especially when it comes to safety and possible excesses. And anyone who moves in public space accepts that to a certain extent. But where are the boundaries?
The “Kiss-Cam” has been around in the US for many years. When the camera zooms in on a certain spot, the cheering crowd expects a kiss. It is good if the person sitting next to you is also your life partner. There were also blows for the running “Kiss-Cam”.
In Switzerland, too, the voyeuristic creativity of the cameramen knows no bounds. The purely sporting events are not always the focus. If someone dozes off in the stands, it will be shown in close-up. Until the pin teeth and the golden crowns in the lower jaw can be seen with an open mouth. And the commentator, striving for compulsive originality, pats his thighs in his dressing room and exclaims: “No wonder, with this boring game.”
Even with someone holding beer and sausage in his hands, the commentators are trying out a mostly hackneyed joke. Even kids who eat french fries and then pick their nose are zoomed in like crazy. The cameramen’s voyeurism knows no bounds.
That was also the case a week ago at the Oberaargau Wrestling Festival. You don’t have to be a prude to be ashamed of others when an inexperienced cameraman from the Telebärn broadcasting station intrusively filmed what seemed like an eternity under a viewer’s skirt. The unsuspecting woman was exposed without realizing it.
“If the woman is recognizable in the series, her personal rights have probably been violated here,” says media lawyer Serafin Oberholzer. And adds: “The camera pan in the audience is definitely allowed. But zooming out of the crowd on a single person who has been involuntarily exposed or otherwise in an awkward situation is problematic in terms of personality rights.”
Telebärn says there were no complaints from viewers. No plaintiff, no judge. And the broadcaster adds: “In all broadcasts of the Schwingfest, the focus is on the sporting events. Even if short atmospheric images from the audience are captured in between, what happens in the background is of secondary importance.”
Like looking under the skirt.
