Vancouver – The B.C. Civil Liberties Association (BCCLA) will hold a press conference on Tuesday, May 28, 2013 at 10 a.m. to make a public call for individuals who have been filmed for Canada Border Services Agency’s reality TV show without their permission. The BCCLA intends to file a privacy complaint against the CBSA for filming travellers at the border for entertainment purposes without their free and informed consent.

This form will allow travellers to object to having their personal information gathered by CBSA and private TV producers and broadcasters including Force Four Entertainment and Shaw Media in order to make a reality TV show.
