Nudists make "naked citizens' arrest" over hidden cooler cam
You don't go to a nude beach expecting the day to be like hanging out at the public pool -- when people get naked in public, stuff gets weird. But one guy took voyeurism to creepy new levels in Australia when he was caught blue-handed with a hidden camera inside of his cooler.

I don't get it at all. I know it's Australia, but what part of this is illegal? And how does someone who doesn't care about being nude in public care about being nude electronically?

Uploading the images to a porn site without their consent is Illegal

But he wasn't doing that. Maybe he was going to do that later. But at the time, he was basically recording people without their knowledge, which happens all the time.

Recording people without their consent is also illegal. Regardless of clothing choices.

With this same logic people and companies should be getting citizen arrested all the time. I'm recorded all the time without my concent and so is everybody else. So I can citizen arrest them too?

Most places have signs up to notify you of being recorded. It's also usually happening on private property. Neither is the case here.

I've never once seen anyone get arrested for recording someone. Paparazzi never gets arrested for it. Likely the other guy gets arrested for assault or something if they try to stop it. They were trying to find the guy who was uploading their pictures (to a site at least one of them was subscribed to) and were trying to pin it on a guy but really had no proof.
did they frisk him ? I sure hope so , no tellin' what he was hiding in a certain orifice

Paparazzi take pictures of public figures, the rules are slightly different for those cases. And most people have their camera out and clearly visible for everyone to see when they're recording. The main part here was the guy was recording surreptitiously and uploading the images onto the net. Both those facts make his actions illegal.

That was the first thing that I thought about too.

Not in public it isn't.

Right after I posted my last comment I saw some guy in Starbucks using a giant 27 inch all in one apple computer and had the box next to him. And some girl was secretly trying to take his picture. The picture was certainly going straight to any number of social media sites. I thought about citizen arresting her until the cops came, but then realized that would be dumb.
Cockamamie story if you ask me.
