At most this would be wiretapping but not a hate crime.
I read an article that said the Indian man recorded this because his roommate was bringing men into the room and not letting him in at the same time. The Indian man was worried his stuff would/was getting stolen so he turned on the webcam. He had a valid worry there. I have lived in the dorm and know how roomies can be. Is why I always paid extra to have own room!
Well the Indian man turned on webcam to “maybe” catch a thief and caught this. He should have been adult about it and erased it not Beavis and Butthead about it and showed it to his friends.
One night after a fraternity party at the end of the semester years ago, I walked up to my room on the second floor of the fraternity house and found the door locked. I knocked and my roommate, an arrogant little ba$tard, refused to unlock the door because he had his girlfriend in there with him. I was pi$$ed because I had to find a sofa to sleep on, and was doubly pi$$ed the next day when I found that they had used MY bed and left it a mess. My roommate flunked out that semester and I didn’t have to put up with his behavior any more.
Perhaps what Ravi was worried about was the two gays using his bed.
With hate crimes the State can declare this story “irrelevant” and charge you with a hate crime because that’s not what they believe you were thinking!
...requiring you to prove innocence.
He didnt RECORD anything.
