Ms Anne Marie McMahon:

We see this as a potential area that needs to be catered for in some way. There is a practical reality to contend with, given the availability of long-range lenses and technology being such as it is. We reference in our submission the absence of the power of seizure, etc. In a situation where we become aware somebody is either recording or taking photographs from a distance, beyond the 100 m areas, we would like to be enabled to seize that material as evidence and investigate it thoroughly in line with legislation. That is the reason we raised this issue. There is a practicality concern relating to our not being able to seize whatever material there is.
