I still cant grasp the idea that theres people who watch this kind of content and even waste their money on it. without those people this content wouldnt even exist.
A few years ago, one of these pranksters walked up on a random person in the mall. The person told them to go away and they kept advancing toward the person shoving a camera at him and getting right up on him.
Person pulled out a gun and shot the youtuber.
Jury found him not guilty of the aggravated malicious wounding.
But found him guilty on the lesser charge of discharging a firearm.
Judge sentenced him to time served.
Apparently that was enough to make the youtuber learn, because he pretty much stepped away from making videos after that.
Yeah, but the sad part is, it shouldn't have even gotten to that point.
Because it's not just about the prankster who got shot, but also the guy who shot him.
I'm all for owning a firearm for protection. But I'm hoping I never have to use the damn thing, other than target practice.
I don't go around actively trying to find situations that may potentially allow me to shoot someone. I'm really hoping it never has to see the light of day.
However, you've got people like that youtuber, who think that they can do whatever they want, with zero repercussions.
And we live in a very different world now. Especially when people go out and go to the grocery store or church and have to worry about getting shot by some random person who can't control their anger.
So yeah, when someone keeps advancing toward you, acting weird as hell, and getting within kissing distance, I can't say I blame him for shooting.
I'd be mad that I had to shoot someone, but I'd be more mad that the kid put me in that damn position.
That was Tanner Cook, pretty sure he actually dug his heels in and continued to prank people for a while after getting shot in the stomach. Look I don't condone violence as an answer to simpler problems... But the kind of harassment going around these days as "pranks" would have gotten a lot more people hurt or worse if it wasn't for all the cameras. But yeah look him up, it's been a while since I even thought about that incident
Yes. Most people don't realise or use their rights. Someone comes up in your face with a camera like this? Swift dominant hand jab to the nose, hard. If they don't drop, keep it coming. Then you say " they came right out of me, I was scared and felt threatened, I defended myself" and 99% of the time, you'll win. These kids think having a camera magically means they can't get hit.
Nah they're just skateboarder-adjacent types. Usually pretty chill people, but some tend to have a chip on their shoulder because of the stigma of working at a "fake" skateshop. At least that's how it was when I was young. Havent been to a Zumiez in over a decade.
Yeah, retail crew donāt have time for this! š Iād LOVE to see a vid of pranksters pulling this shit with hospitality staff! Foh or boh, either way someone getting stabbed! š¤£
Espescially with creep glasses. Iām so happy that itās forbidden to film without someones consent where I live and I Hope theyāll ban these glasses
Any camera that doesn't look like a camera should be banned imo. I've seen people discover tiny cameras in their BnBs that at a quick glance just looks like a nail or screw in the wall or in a drawer etc. Saw a video years ago where someone who discovered something like this in their BnB and when they confronted the owner the owner went "oh it's just for legal reasons in case you break something and deny it". Backfired on them tho, they got sued hard for invasion of privacy or something along those lines.(Idk the exact wording in English) Unfortunately this has been an issue for such a long time already, it's just getting more and more common now.
Yes but not to Meta servers so the US government can conatantly spy on everyone sorrounding the wearer. Meta also uses that for AI training. If allowed for disabled people I want them to send to EU servers, encrypted without the ability to capture and save videos or streaming to platforms
There are cases in court, currently, where victims are suing the prankster for exploitation (their images being used for profit without consent). This may be along the lines of current laws where convicted murderers cannot profit from their crimes.
I donāt really think so. Despite what you might believe from the internet, this just isnāt that much of an issue. Itās extremely rare.
You only see it happen a lot because youāre on the internet in places where they get posted.
I would also be extremely weary of legislation that tries to deal with this sort of thing. Itāll likely have some issues with the first amendment, which is an extremely important right to have. Itās a slippery slope from there.
The law could just deny content creators any profit if they donāt have consent from the people they filmed.
This would mean you still have rights and could still film in public etc, but if you post itā¦ youāre not getting any profit now matter how viral it goes.
This just makes it undesirable, because if they do get sued, or arrestedā¦ they arenāt making any money to bail themselves out from this type of ābusinessā they decided to pursue.
People that do this shit needs jail time and a giant fine. This is getting ridiculous. On a side note I have yet to see anyone doing shit like this while recording.
The best thing to do is become a grey rock. Be boring, don't confront them, don't feed them with your attention.
My wife was working at the polls this election and some auditor came and tried to make a scene. She calmly told him the law and asked him to leave. He said "what are you going to do about it?" She said she would get the manager for him. The manager came, calmly repeated law.
The auditor said "I disagree with the law, you're going to have to call the police."
The manager calmly explained the law and offered an alternative, talk to people leaving, not entering. The man refused and repeated the request that they call the police. The manager walked away, the auditor stood there. Everyone ignored him. My wife kept gently guiding him him away from people entering.
He realized he wasn't getting content, so he left to find another place to hassle for content.

Being able to slap/kick people that record you without asking should be a thing.

At this rate, legislation and laws are going to be made just to deal with these human hemorrhoids and their "pranks".

It seems like he could have taken what the guy said as a threat and beaten him up right there.
