    “he shouldn’t have been videoing you” why? I can see the argument that it’s socially rude, but its absolutely legal in public.

    People’s notion that they can’t be filmed genuinely feels like children screaming “stop looking at me!!!”

      It should be noted that the legality depends on local laws. There are definitely countries where this is illegal.

        This happened in New York and i doubt even places where its illegal to film you can just assault someone and destroy their property.

        Then advocate for changing the law. Its childish to think you get to just assault people and destroy their shit because they’ve made you uncomfortable

        You dont get to assault people and destroy property for being rude though is the point. Not holding the door for someone is rude but you can’t then punch them for it, legally.
