A TikTok influencer is being investigated by police after they secretly recorded a ferry crew and passengers with smart glasses on a trip from Ullapool to Stornoway. The footage shows people on the ferry, but no one consented to being filmed. Grampian Police are reviewing the videos. CalMac is pausing bridge visits while they check the incident. The meeting also led CalMac to tighten its rules on filming on board. This case illustrates how new technology like smart glasses can raise privacy concerns. The incident is still under police review, and no charges have been announced yet.
