Rob you? She's a delivery driver, not a builder.

You surely cannot be allowed to enter private property, knock on someone's door and then take a photograph of the person that opens it.

I'll gladly stand to be corrected if you can point me in the direction that clearly states otherwise.

Have a check and you will see there is and the couriers are told to take a picture of where the parcel is left not that they can take a picture of the recipient

She looks a body builder so there's potential.

No you can't,there is no expectation of privacy in public but in your own home or garden there is even if the photographer is on public land.It is very different if its a public building or a workplace

My understanding too.

In addition to this if any person enters your garden, knocks on your door and then proceeds to take a photograph of you is that not aggravated trespass?.

Oddly enough a delivery came later too and he took a photo of the parcel on the doorstep.....

Normal practise around here

If you stand in your window or at your open door you have reduced your expectation of privacy. There are decency laws to cover some circumstances but they would not apply here. If you can be seen from a public place you are probably fair game.

Because you ordered an item for delivery, coming to your door to fulfil their part of the contract unless you do something to withdraw that permission ahead of time, is not in any way illegal.

When I asked him if he had taken a photo of me and the parcel he said ‘no, no need to'.

But it is not from a public place, it's from private land.

Because I ordered an item for delivery I don't believe that they're entitled by law to photograph the recipient in an environment where that person can reasonably expect privacy.

If you could point me in the direction that explains differently then fair enough.

There is still expectation of privacy in your home and garden.I did not think that was the case anymore but apparently it still is

You might not believe it but it's true. There isn't a law to prevent what the courier did so there isn't anything to link to unless you want to read through legislation on privacy, trespass and the rest looking for something that isn't there.

Expectation of privacy is on a sliding scale, the more steps you take to make something private, the more private it becomes. Blinds, curtains, tall hedges, walls, etc. will give more protection than public-facing floor to ceiling windows.

The shows like rogue traders or, dare I say it, cowboy builders would be less interesting if they didn't rock up at the swindlers House and film them on their doorstep....

Instead of acting like a dick, why don't you put your time to some good and study law.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
