Selected aspects of recording the course of a mass event in the context of ensuring safety during mass sports events

Abstract

This article discusses the issue of recording mass events using audio and video recording devices in relation to ensuring security during mass sporting events. Ensuring public safety and order during mass sporting events is one of the most difficult challenges facing event organizers today.

Detailed rules for recording the course of mass events using image and sound recording devices are set out in the Act on the Safety of Mass Events and the Regulation of the Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration of 10 January 2011. According to the currently adopted regulations, recording the course of a mass event by its organizer is, in principle, their right, to which the legislator has provided three exceptions, namely situations in which the aforementioned right becomes the obligation of the organizer of a mass sports event.
