This guy is just insane. He films you like a creepy stalker, make you look the most uncomfortable possible and then upload it to youtube for some ephemeral internet points while you are being humiliated, this is just not ok.
I'm surprised this guy is not arrested. You're not allowed to record anyone without their permission. Especially if you intend to share it.

Yes you are. And that doesn't matter.

If it's in a public area, yes you are.
i dont know why you guys get so caught up in the morality of it
this shit is entertaining, i could give a fuck less about the big picture or how big of a douche he's being or whatever

is it natural human instinct?[/QUOTE]
He gets right up into your personal space, and coming into someones personal space uninvited tends to piss people off already, let alone with a camera pointed at you.
So yeah, I'd say it's human instinct.

What I love about these video's is he's just demonstrating that people in general are fairly terrible people, I do love the few people who just seemed amused by it. Where other people seem to act as if they have privacy in public. If you're in public and you're being filmed what does it matter? Obviously this is a little over the top but many of those people escalated the situation far too quickly and I can't think of any reason why I would begin being hostile to someone simply filming me, attempt to break their personal belongs or cause physical harm to them and the only person in this video that really had any reason to become really upset with him was one of the most calm people through out the video (the taxi driver, stepping in front of him was kind of a dick move.)

What does it say about society though when a good majority of these people who are in public places immediately become violent just because someone's filming them? It's not as if he's walking up and fondling himself or doing anything especially creepy. He's just standing there, filming them.

Walking up to someone in public and just silently filming them is pretty creepy.
Although I'm sure these are just the few people who act like this. There is likely hundreds of other people he films and they either have fun with it, just don't give a fuck. or ignore him and continue on.
[QUOTE=oakman26;45040623]It doesn't say shit about society because the results would be way different depending on where you are, and this guy probably only uploaded the people who got pissed.
The problem isn't society, it's that this weirdo just goes to someone and starts filming without any explanation and when people ask him what he's doing, he's just like " i dunno, filming."
Like is it not reasonable to be suspicious at some guy who just starts filming you for no reason?[/QUOTE]
And yet it gets an emotional reaction out of you that someone has the audacity to walk up and just start filming you? Yes this is most likely edited to show the worst people and only a few instances of people being calm about it.
As far as being suspicious of some guy who just started filming you goes, yes absolutely it's completely reasonable to be suspicious of that person, but to become irate and physically violent is not. The taxi driver did it right for the most part except when he was finally done with the situation, smacked his camera and left, he was calm and asked the man to move and when he didn't and became a further nuisance he called the police at which point the guy with the camera should have just moved on but he's there to get a reaction out of people so he continued to press the issue till finally the guy in the taxi was just like get the fuck away from me and drove off instead of trying to start a physical fight with someone who was being nothing more than annoying.
All I'm saying is that far too many people are worried about their own privacy in public spaces, and then even take it as far as thinking they have the right to become physically violent with someone who is only being a nuisance. Where I work we have a rather robust surveillance system and everyone was upset when we installed it, Why? because people seem to think they have privacy in public places, I'm not saying that someone should be able to walk into your home and start filming you, I'm saying that if someone is filming in a public place then anyone who chooses to be in that public place has waived any right of theirs to privacy.
There's even rules in place in many unions that do not allow their employees to be filmed. It's simply because people don't hold themselves accountable for their own actions, if they break a several $100,000 system in a shop they do not want video evidence of it to exist.

You're right it is pretty creepy, but would that give me the right to start kicking your teeth in for being creepy?
And you're totally right, this is most likely manufactured to show the worst reactions, and that's sort of the point of it. I'm guessing the guy doing it has justified it to himself in one way or another, whether it's mild fame through youtube or just the thrill of pestering people and I'm guessing he isn't really looking it as an observation. I enjoy watching these videos because to me it is an observation of how a portion of the population reacts to things like this and how unreasonable some people can be.
I'd be pretty freaked if some mute dude was following me around at night with a camera.
[I]'it's an allegory for surveillance cameras'[/I]
*stands in front of a car and obstructs somebody's work, just like surveillance cameras do*
anybody who says that is a fucking idiot, no discussion sorry lol

if anything this doesn't prove that humans are fundamentally violent / terrible, it's that people on facepunch have gradually become sociopaths who snort at videos of people being humiliated on the internet
It's like the "I'm not touching you" game but times 100.

Well he's certainly demonstrating there actually people lacking enough in basic human empathy to be enjoy watching someone who goes around violating the personal spaces of random people who probably have enough shit going on in their lives as it is without some asshole harassing them posting it online for the amusement of others. So yeah, I guess some people are fairly terrible people.
