Comments on the article

After reading the article, I personally feel disgusted by the fact that people nowadays actually do such things in public places. Such intimate acts should be reserved for the bedroom. The bus is no place for such acts. Buses are public places, where even children take them. Even if the couple are at the corner, it does not mean that the children cannot see them in the act. Children are naturally inquisitive people, if they see that the couple is doing something that they do not normally see, they are bound to ask questions. How do you expect the parents to answer them?

Should the people involved be videoed?

While I do agree that taking videos of other people without their permission is just plain rude, in this case, the couple is just asking for trouble to do such intimate acts in public. If you do such acts in public, people are bound to take videos, either for the sake of evidence, or just because they are sick in the mind. While it is an invasion of their privacy, I feel that these people should be videoed as they are not being socially responsible and hence, should be “punished” by losing their privacy.

Who is at fault?

As the saying goes, it takes two hands to clap. Both parties are at fault. The person taking the video clip is at fault as he circulated the video around. However I feel that if the person taking the video took the video only for the sole purpose of evidence, the fault would be solely the couples. However since, the person taking the videos circulated them on the internet, it makes him at fault. He should have just given the video to the police for them to handle and to what is deemed fit to them. The one who is most at fault is obviously the couple. Since they have the guts to do such things in public, they should bear the consequences of their actions. Public places are not places where such acts can be tolerated. They could have booked a hotel room, especially since hotels are quite a common sight anywhere.

What should not be done?

There are many things that should not be done in this case. Firstly, the couple should not have done such intimate acts in public. They should have booked a room or gone home to do their private business. This is the gravest mistake they have made. Secondly, the person who videoed the process should not have posted in on the internet. He should have just given it to the police to handle. Howled at 4:41 PM
