Counter point: if you start filming me in public without my permission your phone is getting smashed, and I don’t care how shitty anybody thinks it is.
I'm glad the law disagrees with you. Someone doing something you consider disrespectful doesn't justify assault and property damage.
It sounds like you have some anger control issues going on if that's your go-to response.
... Are you a cop or something?
When you wake up and walk outside to the corner store, you've had like 40 devices filming you.... lol
Yeah but there’s a difference between a security cam and someone filming me to mock me on the internet. And for the record I’m not stoked about everything else filming me either.
https://www.foia.gov/ - Entire youtube channels with millions of followers request city camera, body cams, court cams, traffic cams.... everything... and mock you on the internet. I don't disagree with your feelings just reminding you of the world we live in.
If I could get away with it I would destroy those too.
Places where those cameras are required the most: police officers' cabins; mayors' and legislatives' offices.
Those devices don't get in your face, aren't easily manuevered to film like a creep. Also the same device don't follow you around like a stalker.
Are those differences really that hard to see?
I think the internet has ruined many people’s perceptions of what is socially acceptable and that there may be consequences for harassing others.
Oh you sweet summer child.
I like this comment
Yeah but I can't reach that high
Don't need to with a high powered laser pointer...
Time for a new iteration of the selfie stick!
The un-selfie stick
Aren't these usually CCTVs?
That's why in video games I smash everything in order to be safe.
Do you happen to work for ICE?
We don’t have ICE in my country.
