i’m not aware there’s any law that requires him to get everyone’s permission. are we in the soviet union?
A proprietor has a right to control recording and photography on his premises, at least in most states.
There are numerous reasons why an owner or manager might wish to prevent such activities. First would be for the privacy of the other customers and the employees. Second would be to guard against devious use of the recordings, and for attack publicity, or for sleazy lawsuits which are used as a shakedown technique.
And anyway, it is a property right of the business.
One the other hand, in some states it is perfectly legal to sound-record personal conversations of your own, and only one party of the conversation need give permission: that can be you, the recorder. I always record conversations with the agents when crossing the border. I just leave my iPhone on the note-taking app. I wish to remember what they asked, and what I answered. I also find that I am actually less nervous when I know that I am recording: don’t know why, but that’s just the way I am. It also could be a protection if someone claimed that I hadn’t declared something which I did declare.
All that they ban if the ban is a new thing. According to the story he'd eaten there with them on before.
yes not every state has the same recording laws.
Read my tagline
We aren’t talking about public property and recording public employees this time.
If he is going into someone else’s business and recording things, he should expect some resistance. The business is right to kick him out if they do not want someone recording on their property.
well then stop saying stupid things like you’ll slap them off his face, or gently remove them, if you know you can’t touch him.
baloney
people can record their surroundings and people in them. my dashcam records other drivers. many people record for their own protection. audio or audio and video.
I do stupid things, sometimes. You would be well advised not to wear these glasses in my immediate presence. I value my privacy, and if I have to take a trip to the jail, so be it.
I'll see your penumbra and raise you my kundalinis and root chakra too!
a private’business can ask him to leave but if they have that policy and don’t post it clearly, and actually seat him instead of discussing this with him before they start treating him like a customer, and nothing is wrong, then they should finish tking care of him and mention as he’s’leaving their policy, and make sure they post’on their door they don’t allow it.
it rests on the businessowner to let people walking in, before they come in, and before they start serving them as customers, what - if any - things they ban in their place’of’business. it has to rest with them’because every business is different and it’s the only way you’ll know.
fine get sued.
Lots of overthinking going on here. If a male wears something like that in public, he deserves a good slap in the face for Unecessary Dorkiness Beyond The Call Of Rampant Beta-male Castrati-Itis. This would only apply to men. Asking why makes you a member of the aforementioned BMCI.
All the rest of that high-minded talk is just noise.
Generally, there are laws against that.”
Unless you are TSA.
Assault me and I’ll shoot you.
The cops need to start writing expensive tickets to anyone wearing them!!
No one should be allowed outside of their own home with the things on!
