Open the app on a laptop, hit Print Screen and send the photo to your phone.

Laptops cannot (natively anyway) install and run .apk files. Mobile apps won't run on a laptop.

None of which matters, given the app allows screenshots.

The only way to prevent it, would be a randomly generated, time limited QR code, which of course can't be used as it would remove the ability for hard copies to be used.

In short we are left with an app (and the associated costs of it), which was introduced with the sole purpose of ensuring people had to validate their identity to get their code, being reduced to the same security level as the previously downloadable pdf codes by simply pressing the power and volume button together on a phone or tablet straight out the box. A roaring success.

How no-one in the design process identified and raised this is incredible tbh.

ScotRail bodying a weirdo for taking pics of ransoms on public transport.

Hopefully that’s her texting the polis’ saying there’s a creepy fcuker on the train taking photos of her on their mobile.

That’s a given.  Not in dispute.  Hopefully the lassie in the photo has an ex named John that gives Gordon a leathering.

Curious to know if he’s actually breaking the law here though.

You can pretty freely take pictures of public in a public place (which I assume public transport would come under) as long as they aren't indecent. It could possibly considered harassment mind you.

Dunno in terms of civil law and image rights but no nothing criminal.

Cheers.  I asked because I vaguely recall something in the news recently about smart doorbells taking photos without consent and the courts ruling it unlawful.  Didn’t pay a huge amount of attention to it right enough.
