  • Today I was almost wrongfully arrested for filming in an airport while preparing for a flight to review an airline. I flew from Ottawa (YOW) to Toronto (YYZ) and while I was preparing to review Porter Airlines I was confronted by security for having a camera even though it was a public space!

    After flying Ryanair known as The World's Worst Airline and Spirit Airlines which is known as America's Worst Airline, Canada's Worst Airline and many more, today I was taking a flight on Canada's Best up and coming airline Porter.

    To further clarify - It was not Porter's fault, it was the YOW (Ottawa Airport). Definitely a crazy experience haha

      The Airport LAND is owned by Transport Canada, the terminal buildings are owned and operated by the Airport Authority operating the airport itself. So while the "land" might be public, the terminal can be considered private.

    You should file a complaint or worst case consult with an attorney. What YOW claimed is absolutely ridiculous and doesn't make sense at all. It is public space, just like other airports including Toronto and Vancouver.

      It is ALWAYS the person. Because these stories always end the same. Person is told to turn off their camera. Incident goes viral enough that the traditional media picks up his story. Owners/CEO/ higher-ups of said place where the said camera is told to be turn off see the story and the release a statement saying, "we have no such policy...and we are now retraining our employees, so that they know our policy"

    Videotaping in airports specially in the secure areas or in customs or security points is actually a breach of security. The videos could be used by other random individuals for terrorist purposes. Also if one person states clearly that he does not give his consent or authorisation then the recording is illegal.
