PEOPLE who catch passengers watching porn on trains are being urged to report them.
British Transport Police (BTP) yesterday (January 18) called on people to come forward after “discussion in the media about people watching pornography on public transport”.
A BTP spokesman said: “If you feel uncomfortable or distressed by someone who is looking at pornography on the railway, we want you to report it to us.
“You can use our discreet texting service to report what is happening without those nearby overhearing, if this makes you more comfortable.
“Remember, you don’t have to prove someone is committing a crime in order to report it.”
They added that their officers have a “range of investigative techniques” to identify people caught watching “inappropriate” films on trains, including local by-laws and Section 5 of the Public Order Act.
If you find yourself in an uncomfortable situation on a train, you can text BTP on 61016 or call 0800 40 50 40.
