Clip shows Miss Trudy acting rudely to airport security before being arrested for filming.
Popular Kenyan travel vlogger, Miss Trudy, has called out Moi International airport security after an unfortunate incident that saw her arrested and detained for three hours.
In a video uploaded on her YouTube channel on Tuesday, Miss Trudy narrated her ordeal and called out the airport’s security for what she termed as unlawful arrest and harassment of content creators.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Security Regulations 2020 59 (1-c) states that a person who engages in operating a portable electronic device is liable, on conviction, to a fine not exceeding Sh500,000 or imprisonment not exceeding six months, or both.
The regulation further states that a person who commits an offence, if he refuses to comply with a lawful order issued by the airport operator, on behalf of the Authority, has the purpose of maintaining good order and discipline at the airport.
In the video, Miss Trudy could be heard expressing her shock and disbelief at the treatment she was receiving.
“Guys we are being stopped, we are told not to film. This is insane. And this is what we talk about being harassed as content creators at the airport. This is just so wrong,” she lamented.
She revealed that immediately she got to the airport with a couple of friends who had come to bid her goodbye, someone stopped her at the entrance and started harassing her, telling her to stop creating content.
The police in the matter of Miss Trudy had the right within the law, to arrest the vlogger and her team for filming without any authorisation by writing to the manager of the airport.
Further, airports are among the government facilities designated as protected areas/controlled security zones, something that the vlogger overlooked.
