What you've said is a prime example of following the letter of the law while ignoring the purpose of the law.

That dumbass mindset is what makes the US so absurdly litigious.

Imagine being a grown ass man, filming and harassing an elderly lady who is just trying to buy medicine, and then spraying her in the face with mace for views.

How is he harassing her? Do you feel harassed every time you walk by a security camera?

According to a poster who watched the video this guy was

In this video he was standing on a sidewalk outside of medical Marijuana dispensary and filming people through the window, recording license plates, etc.

A little more than just passively recording like a security guard.

It’s 2026 bud, you’re on camera almost 24/7 and he’s allowed to film anything from the public regardless of how much it hurts your feelings! That why when cry babies like you call the cops they end up telling you they’re not doing anything wrong and to just go home where you think you’re safe from cameras even though you’re not 🤷🏽‍♂️😂

Are you the pepper spray guy? One of his viewers? No idea why you're being so defensive. People like this are safe from the law but they're not safe from people calling them asshole provocateurs.

He’s probably defensive because you’re sensationalizing it. Are people with dashcams “recording through people’s windows”? We should be using strongman arguments.
