Weirdo Videotaped Myself and Kids On Vacation?

[Anonymous]

I caught a guy taking pictures of asses and cleavages once and noticed he was taking pics of the girls in our group. I approached him and demanded him to delete them.

Did you really type that: "Weirdo videotaped myself?"

It's "Weirdo videotaped me and my kids"

That doesn't make it socially acceptable behavior. You take pictures of strangers so that you can make fun of them to your Facebook friends? Lovely.

I would never come kill you in your sleep. And just because I take your picture doesn't mean I magically know your name or where you live.

It's creepy that you take pictures of other people. WTF do you do with them???

Generally post them on FB with a witty-to-me-and-my-friends comment.
I'm an artist and do photography, and in over a decade of snapping pics of people or things, only once has anyone said to me "Could you please not take a picture of me like this?"

I know someone like this, who takes photos of people in public to post and make fun of. She thinks she's clever and funny, but it really just comes off as mean and immature, and pretty fucking sad given that she's a grown woman with a family. That sort of thing was funny when we were idiot teenagers. In our 30's...not so much.

If I caught you taking a pic of me without asking you'd have trouble finding your camera because I'd shove it so far up your butt.

What does your parole officer think about your hobby

OP here- If he's just some sort of mean creep who is posting pictures of us to make fun of us- whatever (as long as no one I know ever finds them). I hope that is it. He kind of reminded me of the creepy SLR guy that someone posted on prior page. I hiked all day with the two kids and if he is some mean spirited jerk whatever. But even if so, why would you need 5 minutes of video? I'm calling park service today it was at a NP.

BTW- Don't try to file a report with the NPS if that happens to you. I tried to call today twice to file a report (one at 9 and once at 12) and both times I was told that someone would call me back and no one ever did. If people wonder why no one ever reports anything this is why.

What did you report? That somebody was videotaping you, which is creepy but not illegal?

[Anonymous]

Actually it is against the law. I was having a phone conversation in Virginia and he was not part of it when he was recording me and he didn't get my permission.

[Anonymous]

What law? It's generally legal to record people in public. Are you saying that if those people happen to be talking on their cell phones, then it's not legal?

Recording a phone conversation without both parties being aware of it is illegal. If you are having a conversation in public, where you can be overheard by anyone nearby, this does not apply.

I am not a lawyer but I don't think this is true go to www.dlmp.org. They specifically use restaurants as an example of illegal taping. Regardless..the guy was a creep and I thought authorities should be aware. Somene so bold may be doing other things. Neighborhood watch programs encourage people to report strange behavior.

A report about what? No wonder they didn't call you back. Its not against the law.
