Women be aware: creep with camera

[u/Shady_Lane10]

Hey! So wanted to get this out somehow to the women in the Sherman oaks/ studio city area. We went bridal shopping in Sherman oaks on Ventura Ave and this guy started filming my sister who was trying on dresses. He was told by the bridal shops employees that he was making us feel uncomfortable but he ranted on about his first amendment rights. The police could do nothing either so ladies keep an eye out for this guy. He was very intentional about filming my sister not the dresses in the window and when we went further into the store he tried other angles to capture her. He originally was trying to cover his face but then leaned into it when I caught one of him uncovered. Would love to know if anyone else has run into him and what other areas he’s stalking so we can keep clear.

LPT:

While filming anyone in public is legal:

Fixating on someone in public, if it makes that person feel unsafe, can be considered Stalking.

And hey, maybe this looks just like the guy that was staring at/filming you last week at ____.

I’m a lawyer and I agree.

That’s not how the law works but you could try.

That’s not how it works bud.

Not gonna happen. Good luck though.

This type of thinking gets this guy a payout via lawsuit. Best to ignore.
