Description: The cartoon shows Mike Tindall, the husband of the Queen's granddaughter Zara Phillips, wondering how a 'snog with a cute blond in a bar' can be all over YouTube within an hour. Next to him is a man reading a newspaper with a heading that reads 'Supreme Court rules evidence obtained from hidden camera illegal'. He comments 'Because snogging a cute blonde does not constitute a potential criminal or terrorist act, and you weren't being secretly filmed by the police...' Context: Mike Tindall, who is a member of the English rugby team in New Zealand for the Rugby World Cup, was secretly filmed fondling a blond in a bar and the film was put on YouTube. This caused a scandal which resulted in Zara Phillips coming to New Zealand sooner than she had expected to. The man reading the newspaper is referring to the row over the secret filming by the police of suspects during the Urewera raids in 2009. Urgent legislation to allow secret filming on private property by police was rushed through after 13 of the 17 accused from the Urewera raids had their cases thrown out because the secret filming surveillance used in evidence, was deemed illegal. Quantity: 1 digital cartoon(s).
