I don't agree with the ones that go out of their way to harass people like the guy that got arrested but the reality is human beings are a weird lot. You step out of your house and you are on innumerable cameras from dash cams to ring cams to cctv in every retail establishments but if someone walks by and snaps your pic in a non offensive way suddenly it's a war over their right to do so when the reality is anywhere, anytime in public anyone has the LEGAL right to take a pic of what ever they see. It amazes me how many people don't know that and are willing to escalate to physical violence over someone taking their pic without consent.
Toronto man Harasses Passersby over "Ethnicity"

If this guy was a white man, Hindu or Jew doing this to a Muslim they would be going crazy and calling for his head.
But if the person with the camera was also uploading to the cloud or was broadcasting live to someone who was recording Bubba would now be back in the slammer over nothing. Meanwhile like I said Bubba was on numerous other cameras at the same time. The reality is we are in a surveillance state at this point. Why get bent out of shape at Tom for snapping your pic when Bob got the same images on his dashcam driving by and Suzy's doorbell cam did the same thing. Everyone has the right to conceal their identity with a mask if the TRULY want to preserve their identity. As opposed to selectively creating a conflict because you believe no one has the right to film you.try taking a pic of someone in my neighbourhood bubba will knockl the phone out of your hand and delete thanm throow a few punches
We literally have no idea what any camera does with the images. Much the same as we have no idea if a guy snapping pics on Yonge st has malicious intentions. My point is if you're concerned with one you should be concerned with all as there is little to differentiate. Tons of people wear masks and don't have to worry about it.
I don't, this all sounds pretty minor compared to the pedo rape gang running america and eating babies.
Is it ok because they are Jewish or white?
So are you saying if I walked up to you walking down the street and started taking pics or videos of you I would be breaking a law?
It's 100% legal for anyone to take a picture of what ever they can see with their eyes as long as it's on public property. If you do it in Mc Donalds they can ask you to stop or leave but in public 100% legal. Check out Canada Cop Watch and True North Transparency. Even filming cops arresting someone is totally legal.
I don't believe that to be true. I've seen kids walk past the camera in True North Transparency videos. Furthermore what are you supposed to do, ask a stranger their age before you turn your camera on? Now I wouldn't recommend filming someone who is clearly under 18 but I've never seen it indicated that it was illegal. Good question for a lawyer actually but I think it's legal from what I have seen.
Ya so totally legal. But still kinda creepy. It's nice to have rights protected by the charter. If you want to stay anonymous a mask is your best bet.
Keep in mind tons of retail establishments use facial recognition software. It's actually pretty scary how common it is. A mask is your best bet for anonymity.
