The man was captured on camera on the top deck of the 45 bus. As his friend acts as lookout at the top of the stairs, the other sprays graffiti on the back window and urinates on seats. The pair got onto the bus at around 9.30pm on Pershore Road and disembarked in Birmingham city centre 30 minutes later. The crime happened on 14 July. PC Shaun Hickinbottom, from the Safer Travel team, is investigating. He said: "To vandalise a bus and then urinate on the seats is nothing short of disgusting... children use that bus.

Absolutely sickening behaviour. I cannot even begin to comprehend the mentality behind this. If these vile c**ts are found, we should all go round their house, spray graffiti on their windows and then have a piss on their sofa, see if they find that acceptable behaviour!

Exactly and this is on one of the older buses so the cctv on the enviros must be even clearer. Does it not reinforce further the argument for single decks over deckers?

I don't why NXWM don't put monthly 'Wanted' posters up each & every month specific to each garage showing mug shots of the scum that they want to catch up with, listing the offences / damage they have caused including the confidential text/hotline numbers. Also, they should name & shame the people they have successfully prosecuted including fines etc

It may make others think twice before committing similar offences if they see NXWM are actively viewing the CCTV or better still the parents may get to see what their offspring are up too

Didn't they do something like that with the old Crystal Eyes 11 software? They certainly used to show missing persons and I'm sure i once saw someone wanted by WMP for something? Would certainly be a positive step if they started naming and shaming. I'm sure London Midland used to name and shame convicted fare-dodgers on posters in stations.

I'm 6ft 4 and I cannot. I can't fit out of the emergency exit either. Not because of a stomach but because of a shoulder width.

Someone appears to have set up a 'Facebook Community' using one of my photos as their profile photo.

Anybody on here? If it is not removed it will be reported to facebook for 'unauthorized use of intellectual property'

As anyone who has asked will tell you I always grant permission when asked properly, but just taking them and using them for profiles without asking is just rude!

Said prolific photo thief has said that if a photo is shown on Google, there is some sort of common law that says that those photos aren't owned by anybody. Got to go straight in the top 5 crap excuses ive ever heard. His belief is the same as the quote, if its on the internet, anybody can have it. I know my persistence may make me sound like I'm moaning again but I'm not. It's just not fair on talented photographers/knowledgeable enthusiasts (I don't fit in either category but hey ho)

Yes they can 'copy' it but they cannot distribute it which is clearly what a lot of ppl do including Mr original 'Jacksy Jones'. Then again you can't smoke in the bus station...drive a car with no insurance....neither r u supposed to rape & stab ppl. We live in a society of animals, so I guess getting someone to remove a picture......

A certain member *cough* @Rhys S *cough* has stolen a photo from my flickr

The first picture shows it on my flickr. Another reason Rhys has stolen this photo is because HE IS ONBOARD! Top left window.

The second shows it on his facebook page uploaded on May 19Th.

Now I'll ask politely first for @Rhys S to take the photo down by 00:00 on Friday 3rd July I will take further action against his facebook page as this is not the first time he has done this.


Following this I messaged @Rhys S to ask him more personally to take it down and reiterate that he had stolen the photo and that it was breaking the law and his response was along the lines of 'He dosen't care'

I am saying this now that I apologise if people think I am being harsh on Rhys but I do not appreciate people stealing photos as wouldn't most people.

This isn't the first time he's stolen a photo, as you're aware @Dom. Maybe you should remind him of where the law stands on photography. Also remind him that his age doesn't make a difference.

Is he even old enough for Facebook?

Tried mate, intellectual property use is effective and states that only the creator (I.e me!) has the ownership to the item in question (I.e My Photo) and that if someone wished to use it they must ask permission or it is a crime. I believe not I think the age min for FaceBook is 13 (Although not 100%)

Rhys, why didn't you simply ask Dom beforehand if you could use the photo, as you are in it and would like to use it as a profile photo? I'm sure any reasonable request could have been granted. Your attitude now is doing you no favours.

Post by: danny on July 02, 2015, 07:26:54 PM
@Rhys S. What you have done is plagiarism if you are trying too pass @Dom  photo off as your own and theft at the least. Both of which are criminal offences, I strongly suggest you remove the picture before the incident escalates, being in a photo does not give you right of ownership, if that was so the majority of members on this forum would have the rights to half of Tony's photos and anyone who shares their photography skills kindly here from Flickr.
Title: Re: Name & shame
Post by: MW on July 02, 2015, 07:35:49 PM
I think the facts are passing photos as your own morally wrong and I wouldn't do it.

As for criminal offences and against the law, don't be silly, what law?

From the eyes of the law, he hasn't broken any surely?

Was looking on National Express West Midlands Facebook page and read the comments on the picture of 1446. I noticed this person 'Mumtaz Bus Driver Ahmed' has got Tony's 2207 picture as his profile picture. It also looks like he has been stealing Tony's other pictures and put them on his wall.

Makes a change, that one has been taken off facebook, not off the website. Difference is the gentleman in front of the bus, taken with my phone not my camera. The four buses were actually only like that for about 2 minutes, if you look closely you can see the West Bromwich engineer in the cab of 4748 waiting to take it away, so the line up only lasted from the time I parked the platinum to when he reversed the crimson away. The only other person to take a photo was the gentleman in the photograph (paintshop manager) so definitely my photo!

It's quite regular in my experience. Only on Saturday, I had two groups smoking it, and other passengers began to kick up a fuss with me. One passenger tried to open my cab door to try and attacking me simply because they weren't happy with the fact that I wouldn't get out the cab to kick them off lol.

I did what I'm paid to do, and that's pressing the smoking and substance button.

I can watermark them, but I like people to see the photograph not a great big watermark over the front of a bus, the annoying thing is, as several people will tell you, if I am asked if people can use my photos I normally say yes as long as there is a credit to the website where they have been taken from.

Well it doesn't necessarily have to be a massive watermark for example it could be small and opaque at the bottom of the image

He's still on quite a few groups on Facebook including the PTE group. I've messaged a few admins on groups that he is on about what he is doing. I've noticed he nicked another one of mine and a few more from @Tony

You notice he has no friends on facebook? Possibly a fake name account solely for nicking photos. Even Nathan's with his copyright straight across the windscreen

All I can suggest is that if you find one of your own photos on his Facebook page, then report it to Facebook.

This Flickr account has stolen @Tony's pictures, and not given credit to Tony. Not sure how many pictures that person stole but so far I saw 2. https://flic.kr/p/zpzMBU

There's a lot of Tony's photos on that account. Majority are freshly repainted Crimson/Coventry blue photos.

It's a shame that this topic has to be resurrected. :( I'm not sure if it's anyone on this forum, but it appears that a substantial amount of Tony's photos has yet again appeared on someone's flickr page.

Don't suppose permission was given before using these?

Just come across this YouTube channel. Using loads of NX photos that clearly aren't his in slideshows.
Noticed photos taken by @CL , @John , @P419 EJW , @Tony , myself, and some more Flickr users  ::)
