* £200 & 6 points.
I personally wouldn't be worried about it. I've seen enough of
these videos* and I can honestly say I do not remember a thing
about the star or their vehicle. How many people really are
going to be outraged enough by someone on their phone, while sat
stationary at the lights, that they would want to be
confrontational in the future?
Ultimately the posters are doing it for content and the more
they can annoy someone into reacting the better. Any moral story
they may want to plead about doing it for dead relatives is
generally a load of old shit to attempt to garner sympathy over
criticism.
* Usually because I want to see if someone gets out their
vehicle and head butts him, the cycling nonce.

Bit late for this occasion, but in future if someone's filming
you, play some Disney tunes on your phone or car speaker as loud
as possible.
That greatly increases the chances of their video getting taken
down or demonetised and them getting a copyright strike on their
account.

and running off with their mobile phone. Passer-by records it on
his mobile phone, posts it on social media and sends a copy to
the police. Now instead of nicking a phone which is breaking the
law, insert using a hand-held device whilst driving, which is
also breaking the law.

Isn't the point, though, that if the case ends up in a jury
trial, there is a chance that a juror would have seen the video
and all the comments made about it, and have formed an opinion
prior to the trial, thus prejudicing the whole process? Hence
the general guidance of "don't post" stands. For example,
Cycling Mikey doesn't upload his stuff to YT until he knows the
judicial process is complete.

As far as I can make out there is no such thing as privacy in a
public place. This has been played out by persons who call
themselves auditors on you tube and the such like.
There have been instances where police officers have been filmed
using phones , parking on yellow lines etc and the matter has
apparently been forwarded to PSD.GDPR does not apply to
individuals doing this apparently so they are not data
controllers.This is the way things have gone with mobile phones
that are now video recorders as well.
Everyone has to be more aware than ever in this day and age.

Using a mobile while driving isn’t going to end up in front of a
jury though. So not particularly relevant in this case.
