He haven't uploaded anything new since 5 months :(
He probally got beat up to many times that he didnt show in video or someone broke his camera. I know I would to you just dont fucking film people like that. Pretty much asking for it.
Why does he never say like "Legally I'm allowed to do this"
[QUOTE=EcksDee;46087961]Why does he never say like "Legally I'm allowed to do this"[/QUOTE] He does in his early stuff. These days he doesn't say a word to make it even more awkward.
He stopped uploading because it defeats the point. He's a surveillance camera on legs. Surveillance camera footage is not uploaded to the internet, and if so, the faces are censored. I'm pretty sure unless something happened to him, he's still out there, filming strangers in public places. Except now they have even less of a reason to be annoyed by him and not by the CCTVs.
he just fucking walked on to the stage
[QUOTE=Drury;46088001]Except now they have even less of a reason to be annoyed by him and not by the CCTVs.[/QUOTE] There's a bit of a difference between a CCTV system that films the general public, and some creep with a camera who's fully concentrated on following and filming [U]you[/U]. Don't you think?
I love this man

[QUOTE=Drury;46088054]It's just as easy to follow a single person with multiple CCTVs.[/QUOTE] And you need to understand that if a person found out that a CCTV system was concentrated on them, they'd be extremely uncomfortable about that, as well. Generally, however, people trust that the government / a company put the cameras there for security reasons, not for malicious reasons. And let's be real here, who's so paranoid they think ~the government~ would track them out of thousands of other people for no real reason? But that is not the case here, people get upset because they're aware that some creep is following them around wherever they go, while also filming them. They have no idea why he's doing it, or what he's going to do with the footage. I hate that argument "but he's just holding a camera!!11", for most of these people, the camera isn't the primary problem; it's him being fucking creepy about it. If I followed you around for 10 minutes, without saying a word when you asked me what I was doing, you're telling me you wouldn't be unsettled or annoyed by it? "But I'm just walking!!!" All in all, I think the "Surveillance Camera Man" is a socially incompetent weirdo, and a complete moron I'm also not sure if what he's doing is 100% legal in the U.S / the state he's in, as I'm fairly certain it could be classified as harassment. He's not just "recording in public", he's explicitly filming and following targetted individuals with the only intention being to upset them
[QUOTE=Drury;46088054]It's just as easy to follow a single person with multiple CCTVs.[/QUOTE] But having a physical presence right behind you creates a whole different feeling other than the usual security camera. Besides why would a camera be following your every step unless you've done something?
Even if these videos are trying to make a dumb statement I still enjoy them.
The entire argument that its okay for what he does because of shit like CCTV is so fucking stupid and wrong. This guy is a fucking prick, I get his point but theres a difference from filming someone, and then being a silent creep and following people around, going into private property. He has balls, but hes not righteous at all and is an ass.

Any location that has cameras, the people inside are being watched as long as there's someone on duty to sit behind a desk and look at the monitors. These videos are exactly that; he's going around and recording people, and doesn't say anything because that's the point. When you're in a store and you're on a CCTV, you don't get to say hi to the guy who's watching you. These videos just bring it out into the open. The concept is the same, the execution is obviously different.
i know that security cameras watch people and watch me too but why should i care when i know it's that person's job to do so why be creeped out by surveillance cameras in the first place, i mean i've only ever seen them in public places
I get the guy has his rights, but he's being provocative on purpose. Yeah, he has the legal right to film people. That doesn't mean he [I]should[/I] go around and harass people with that right.

None of the banks in my town have anyone watching them. None of the convenient stores is watching them. Almost NO where has someone watching them because its extremely expensive to hire someone for that when most places dont even need one. So no, most places dont have someone watching me, its recording me and everyone else incase something happens and people need to go back and look. Having some random silent creepy guy follow me around with a camera is NOTHING like that, if you cannot see why then I really dont know what to say to you. It blows my mind you think you can even compare to the two to the point where they are the same. He goes into places that dont have cameras and films people who clearly dont want to be filmed, so hes denying their choice to not be filmed to then film them to make his point that you are filmed? What a great fucking point? People arent retarded and know when they walk into a store or some shit you are being recorded, you know you are around most schools, you can see it in banks, you can very easily see them everywhere. So hes not even bringing ANYTHING out into the open, the only people who think he is are idiots, everyone else understands the concept of security cameras and CCTV pretty fucking well. When you can show me when CCTV becomes an individual human being who walks around silently following people, barging into peoples property and filming them then let me know(you know property that doesnt have cameras in it, defeating his whole fucking point) CCTV also is filming everyone, this guy is picking targets to harass and single out. I also dont know what hes using his videos for or why hes recording me, I do know why im being recorded on security cameras.(Its for security)
People generally only look at CCTV cameras when there's something wrong. For example, my community has a gate with a CCTV camera watching it. One night, something ran through the gate and bent it. They tried finding the video, but had to call a third party security company for it. By the time they got footage, the video had been deleted because it took too long to get and was overwritten. It took like a month for them to get a replacement gate but no one ever found out who or what bent the gate. Point of the anecdote, CCTV cameras are generally used as deterrence and only viewed when needed.
Whatever you do, don't read the comments on YouTube, I think my brain is about to come out through my nose
While I get he has the right to film people, I don't think he has the right to walk into someone's apartment. Which he did.
Come on guys you should know better, it's so fucking obvious he just does it for reactions. He just repeats the same phrase over and over to piss people off; "I'm just taking a video". It's pretty much IRL trolling and it's hilarious. I doubt he gives a single shit about CCTV, and just uses it as a cover to get reactions out of people.
