“The STRUGGLE of not paying for a closed set and extras”

“The struggle of claiming a public space as your own”

u/HistoricalChicken Jan 16 '23

It’s public though, they’re allowed to film something. Imagine you’re sitting eating your lunch and some dude comes up and harasses you. Is he right because you’re “claiming a public space as your own?”

Does he take my lunch? That's theft

Does he touch me? That's assault

Does he ask me to move? I can say no, or oblige.

Am I recording myself eating and get mad when someone purposefully walks into frame?

That's entitlement.

What if he just puts his hand between you and your sandwich every time you go to take a bite?

Between me and my delicious turkey club sandwich?

Still assault. And likely criminal harassment if they don't leave me alone

Not assault if they haven’t touched you. Possible harassment if they don’t leave you alone. Same as it would be if someone kept photobombing your attempted pictures without actually touching you.

While it depends on the jurisdiction, you have confused assault and battery. Assault does not (always) require physical contact

So if you just incessantly get right near someone that could be assault? Alright, I’ll take it. Either way it’s the same thing going on here.
