Man of Honour
When he said "I'm within my rights" you should have replied with "I'm within my rights to protect these persons rights to privacy" and drag him away from the area by the scruff of his neck.whats the view on this? is it legal or not?

As long as you properly give him notice of what will happen and use reasonable force, there is nothing he can do.
Believe it or not, anyone can protect theirs and others rights, it's not just the policy brigade who have the authority to do it.
Do you own a Horse ?
Correct.
We had a guy from the bbc filming through the windows of the salon a few months back so i went out to question him and i mean camera right up against the window not from a distance.
he said he was completely in his right, but i replied saying I don't care clients were feeling uncomfortable so could you stop, he showed me his BBC press card (it was legit we ended up on tele) and I told him I don't care if it was legal or not we do not want the clients feeling uncomfortable in the salon.
he said he would stop and i walked back in and he continued, at this point I got irate and told him if he didn't go away I would shove the camera where the sun doesn't shine.

Perfectly legal. Close the blinds if you don't like it.
If you want him to stop then you are going to have to be far nicer, with that kind if attitude he is under no incentivie to stop.
You mean a BBC employee with a press card.its the fact this creepy old man was just standing at the window filming people having their hair cut.
when i asked him to stop originally i was fairly polite, im sure if he would have came in and explained what he was doing then fine, its the fact this creepy old man was just standing at the window filming people having their hair cut.
it was when he carried on i got angry.
does that mean you can go up to someones window and film them watching tv and its fine?

If their window directly borders public land (ie a terraced house with no garden/yard) then yeah, legally you could. If you have to stand in their garden to do it then you're no longer on public land and you're trespassing.
Let me get this straight.. If you're on public land but taking photos/spying into private property, there's no law that stops you doing that? Seriously? That does not seem right
At the very least surely it can be construed as voyeurism, harassment etc? I honestly can't believe kaptainmarc's example? Although maybe because it is a shop it is classed as 'public place' ?
It's really not that complicated. And you're confusing yourself with public and private land; a shop is entirely private land.
