A man walks up to you and trains his camera on your face, saying nothing. You ask why he’s filming and he says, “why not?”

Why can’t the videos be found anywhere?
There’s cameras everywhere. Even in here.
He has the right to record whatever he wants whenever he wants DEAL WITH IT
For those who don’t know, the surveillance camera guy has started a new project that’s arguably equally good — his new channel is Vagrant Holiday
Kino
Absolute legend who did nothing wrong. After all, it’s just a video.
Don’t use the word everyone. I certainly don’t hate him.
A genius.
Interesting guy I’d like to meet one day
You know all owners of all CCTVs? Basically anybody can put their CCTV on street and you would never find how it differs from usual CCTV.
It’s just irrational fear to be on tape, don’t try to find explanation.
“Hey calm down” .… besttttt lmao XDD
At 4:27 they say it’s an invasion of privacy. It’s not. When you’re in public you have no expectation of privacy.
Am I stupid or do security cameras just stay in one place? Google glass and cops are within eyesight when I’m outside, but they aren’t walking up to me during lunch and looking into my mouth. I’ve never been at work and had one of the stationary cameras jump from the ceiling and break covid regulations. I really hope the message isn’t women and businesses should have less security. Just saying that if SCM comes out to be huge rapist then there’s a bigger message here than we think.
I miss vagrant holiday🥺
I loved those vids 🤣
I’d rather have some random guy film me than some mass surveillance state.
hahaha yeah that Google Glass thing really took off ey
I would freak out
I feel like the only reason a person doesn’t want to be filmed is if they’re hiding something. Almost every single time I’ve had someone rage at me while I was doing a vlog is always people who look odd, or people who look like they’re hiding something. Me on the other hand, I have nothing to hide. I honestly wish I could see a video of me where I didn’t know I was being filmed other than my childhood family home videos. 4:40 Also it’s not “videotaped”, there’s no tape involved at all.
Generally think he was a genius for filming these videos.

8 years later… That last dude definitely passed the vibe check!
Whoever writ this is stupid
I had this exact moment. I and my friends were at Nando’s popular restaurant in Cardiff. I had a youtube channel, and want to showcase the restaurant view and food. So the moment I started, the manager came by and told me, you can’t film. I was like did they commit any crime? to be scared of cameras?
Answer: Because it’s voyeurism. The idea of ‘security cameras being everywhere’ is an elaborate excuse, as if to pose this voyeuristic, intrusive form of taking videos as ‘art’. It’s psychopath art, if you will, and this guy’s obviously a psycho. He’s obviously getting off to violating boundaries, and there is likely a sexual satisfaction from it. But I don’t think most people have the mental vocabulary to wrap their heads around these exact ideas, and therefore can’t fully understand what is going on.
THIS GUY IS A LEGEND
I love how everyone else is just like “what are you doing? go away” and the black guy is running after him trying to assault him while asking “ARE YOU A HOMOSEXUAL”? truly says something about society, just not sure what.
Dude is a legend. From my home city, Seattle. 💯 YOU HAVE NO EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY IN PUBLIC.
“I’m just taking a video.”
“WHY?!”
“Why not?”
Wonder what happened to him…. Wishing we crossed paths.
The progenitor of Frank Hassle.
Seattle is incredibly unhinged. People tried to do this in other cities and got next to no reaction
Google glass is still relevant and widely used
Imagine being a celebrity and having dozens of guys making videos of you everywhere you go.
I mean… it does make sense. Security cameras are managed by authorities in case we need them for purposes of security. Generally only used to act against those who break the social contract.
A person with their camera right in your face is probably to harm or humiliate you on a large scale.
I do hate the Boebert thing today though. That footage should not have gotten out, and we really ought to have better guidelines on what gets released and who’s allowed to do so. Cameras existing for physical security should not get involved in social politics.
A security camera vs some creepy guy with a camera. Let’s use some social common sense
I support him. If he was just some weirdo recording people for untoward reasons, fair enough, but he’s clearly (imo) trying to make a point regarding the absurd degree of surveillance in many countries. I can completely understand getting angry about it in the moment if you don’t know the context and he’s recording you, but from the POV of someone watching and (presumably) understanding why he’s doing this, I can’t help but think he’s based and justified.

What happened to google glass? 😂
i tried to do this style of video, and everyone was very freindly to me and smiled to the camera, maybe its because i am very attractive. and yes its awkward when i have to completly ignore whatever they say to me,
i miss him so much
When you’re walking down the street or around a store or into a bus station or something like that you’re not really aware of all the cameras because they tend to be hidden in unobtrusive places and/or small enough that they’re not immediately obvious. When some dude walks up to you and shoves a camera in your face, especially when he doesn’t say anything, it’s far more obtrusive and obvious. That being said, I don’t have a problem with what SCM does/was doing, but I am unsure of how I’d react if he came up and started filming me. I’d like to think I’d be like that last guy, but … I just don’t know.
If you’re on public property your getting filmed sooner or later
Vagrant Holiday will be missed
Just learned this guy is Vagrant Holiday
😢
I mean noadya your phone, your wtaches, your cimputers every camera you can think of always records you, spys on us everyday. He just shows it so we think about it more
Doesn’t anybody know what ever happened to surveillance camera man ? Is he okay ?
Vagrant holiday is other channel
lol i forgot about google glass.
