| | | Posted by Tribi I’m asking here since this is my area and you guys would be the best people to ask. | We're probably not the BEST, a lawyer would be, but we do have experience with this. I recently uploaded a video where we went inside an abandonment that people are generally caught and charged a huge fine at. | What is the content of the video? Are you in it? Are you recognizable? Is your voice in the video? If you are telling us that people are fined, you are stating that you knew beforehand there was risk involved. By putting a video of yourself at this location you are basically admitting you knew of the risk beforehand and still opened yourself up to be fined. It’s all over the news around here when somebody gets caught in that building because they are generally scrappers. | Yeah, those scrappers are a rascally bunch. I’m just curious what the legal issues would be if somebody important happened to see us actively going inside said building, sorry if this question is dumb. I couldn’t find it in Common thread topics and I also assumed it’s a bit different for every region, thanks in advance!
| Well you have an option here. You spent time and energy making this video, but you did publish it. It may be in your best interest to pull it down and wait a while. A few months, a few years, or until the building comes down. It's a situation that some of us on this forum have been in too. Hell, even I get blamed for OTHER people's urbex videos. https://www.youtub...atch?v=yPXUGvXBW2E Without specifics though it's hard to answer your last questions. Do what will help you sleep at night, not worry on a public forum, and get you in the least amount of legal trouble. I am not a lawyer.

| | | Posted by Tribi - Generally you see this bigger exploring channels breaking into places much more known and don't seem to get in trouble, which is one of the bigger reasons I was asking. Personally I am not too worried of the authorities seeing my video, I was just curious if it was a possibility for me to get in trouble if they did. Thank you for this though, from now on I will be cutting out POE and will be much more careful. I wasn't aware of these things generally, thank you though guys!
| Odds are, nothing will come of it, but the possibility always exists, of course. "The Authorities" generally have better things to worry about unless you're creating a real issue, but it does happen. More likely, the property owner may run across it while keeping tabs on the place online, especially if it's a known and active spot. Property owners (and even neighborhood groups) can be the real problem. And, obviously, if there are things tying it back to a real name, then you have the issue of potential employers and the like. Again, in all likelihood nothing will come of it, but I've never understood the reasons why people go out of their way to film themselves committing crimes (petty as they are) and sharing them with the world.
