Are those in the garden culpable if they spoke but did not broadcast? Or are the broadcasters culpable if they did not speak but broadcast?

The author'...Barry - in their own back garden?<br /><br />The author's point is summed up in his comment: <br /><br /><i>I’m sorry, but I don’t want the police investigating videos in which no crime has been committed. In which no one’s property has been damaged or stolen and no person has been harmed. In which there is merely an act of expression. That way the police state lies.

I think this is the point being made in the piece: such things should not be a crime, a police matter. People are offended by simply not being agreed with/deferred to - our being offended should not mean we are victims of crime.
