According to a police source who spoke with the Daily Mail, West and Censori's actions have led to a barrage of complaints from people who feel the duo crossed the line.

"The images show the couple clearly in a state of intimacy and if the local prosecutor decides to press charges, then we will notify the couple, most probably through the relevant Embassies," they said.

A Venetian councilor for public security, identified as Elisabetta Pesce, also spoke with the news outlet and slammed Censori and West for disrespecting the famous city with their actions.

She said, "Without any shadow of doubt what we saw from the couple was a lack of respect for Venice, which is the most enchanting city in the world."

An insider in close contact with the city's mayor, Luigi Brugnaro, also shared with the Daily Mail that West and Censori's "behaviour will be discussed" during an upcoming monthly meeting on public security.

They stated, "Venice is famous for being one of the most beautiful cities in the world and we expect tourists to maintain a respectable level of decency when visiting. These public acts of spectacle are not what we or the millions of tourists who come here each year wish to see and we take a very dim view of it."

"We can only hope that the prosecutor imposes a fine and then the couple will think long and hard about their behaviour if they return to Venice in the future," the source concluded.
