And that's ridiculous. You have no expectation of privacy in public. I thought the hate was overblown back in the Google Glass days, too.

You also should have, in a well-functioning society, no expectation of violation of personal rights (or even human rights) in public. Yet here we are.

Nothing to do with privacy and everything to do with someone attempting to openly mock me and throw me on the internet without the expectation of consequences. It’s about respect.

What a dumb take. Go back to putting up flock cams everywhere, cop-lover

It was a subway car, can he just grab her breasts? Ass? Where is the line on sexual assault? Let's review Creepy McCreepface's video and see exactly why this woman got upset.

So you're cool with letting men video children in public parks? Because it's technically legal?

In multiple threads you've been really focused on sexual assault and harassment happening but I don't see where in the article it says he was doing that? I'm sorry if I'm completely missing something
