Dilara was on her lunch break in the London store where she works when a tall man walked up to her and said: “I swear red hair means you’ve just been heartbroken.”
The man continued the conversation as they both got in a lift, and he asked Dilara for her phone number.
What Dilara did not realise was that the man was secretly filming her on his smart glasses - which look like normal eyewear but have a tiny camera which can record video.
The footage was then posted to TikTok, where it received 1.3m views. “I just wanted to cry,” Dilara, 21, told the BBC.
The man who filmed her, it turned out, had posted dozens of secretly filmed videos to TikTok, giving men tips on how to approach women.
Dilara also found out that her phone number was visible in the video. She then faced a wave of messages and calls.
You’re almost always being filmed in public in many places. The courts say it doesn’t matter whether or not you realize it, in the US.
So no, you don’t realize either point. Cool, you’re basically an intellectual brick.
The law is always behind technology. There’s no gotcha here. I was just talking about the standard the law has to pass to last, under current interpretation. Lots of laws get passed and then struck down as not meeting the standard of constitutional muster. Just because someone wants to ban something doesn’t mean the law will stand. Thanks for the degredation though.
