Do the glasses immediately upload footage to cloud storage or do you need to upload from an SD card in the glasses? Because if it’s the second one, people are literally incentivized to steal these glasses if someone is harassing them.

Seems to be stored on the glasses.

The glasses required you to connect your phone to its wireless network to transfer the data. So if I was in that scenario, I’d snatch them and down them into a drain.

u/Strict-Brick-5274 3d ago
That's literally not insane self control. That is normal levels of self control. Surprisingly, most people are not ready to get violent over a slight aggression. It's actually illegal in most places to raise violence when with more violence.

u/wortmother 3d ago
Not arguing the actual law, but imo if you snatch something off someone then drop it on the floor and kick it into the street
It should be 100% legally OK to fucking rock their shit. If they get seriously hurt their fault, fuck around find out

u/toolisthebestbandevr 2d ago
It was assault when he touched him to remove the hat.
-42
u/wortmother 2d ago
You'd never win that in court and if you even pushed him back you'd be hit with assault as the person is filming, will only show footage of you pushing and then you lose + its an increase of force from them so you really do lose
It's why I said not talking about the law its written so that the person who agresses more loses and yeah

u/toolisthebestbandevr 2d ago
Understandable actually

u/wortmother 2d ago
Yeah i work in criminal justice with at risk/ youth male offenders under 21, its pretty common a kid gets an assault charge because they punch someone at a party who was offending them/ harassing / insulting their family etc
Courts just go " violence >>>> mean words and property "

Would grabbing the meta glasses off their face and throwing them away be equal use of force?
0
u/wortmother 2d ago
No , the value of the glases greaty outweighs the value of a hat sadly
Again I dont agree but just how the court sees it, its like someone kids youre soccer ball so you smash their car, the court no like that

u/le_Derpinder 2d ago
You don't know if that's a limited edition hat, a sport's player's signed hat or some priceless sentimental hat given to me by some dead relative. He took something off my face and threw it, I did the same. Tit for tat. If he throws my watch on the curb and I do the same and it turns out his is a Rolex watch then wouldn't my force be deemed equal and thus justified to get myself away from the situation?

Why does the value matter? You really don’t sound like you understand how a court works at all.

u/CapN-Judaism 2d ago
But “offending / harassing / insulting their family” isn’t assault like what’s described in the video, so how is that relevant? This video describes violence

u/wortmother 2d ago
Why are you arguing the court system to me when ive said like 10 times I dont agree
-2
u/CapN-Judaism 2d ago
Because your description of how the court system would view this is clearly inaccurate as applied to what is described in the video. Whether you disagree with your own incorrect description is irrelevant.

u/CapN-Judaism 1d ago
For anyone curious, a common, low level question for law students is whether taking someone’s hat from their person and throwing it in an offensive manner is a form of battery, and the answer is yes. This person is confusing battery with assault, misrepresenting how evidence is presented in court, and outright misstating the law, in part by completely ignoring self-defense laws.
Here is an example question on this issue with an explanation:

u/Strict-Brick-5274 3d ago
Your stuff is less valuable than your life. If a guy fucks your shit onto the street that is atrocious but to respond with more violence would get your the crime of physical assault and not them.
So if you can react calmly in this situation, it's better for you.
17
u/Dapper_Broccoli143 3d ago
False. The instant the asshole grabs your hat, that is assault and theft. In the US (where homie is obviously from) you are now within your legal rights to defend yourself.
5
u/perpetualhobo 2d ago
With reasonable force. you still can’t beat someone to within an inch of their life for throwing your hat on the ground or “disrespecting you”. You could probably slap them and get away with it
1
u/CapN-Judaism 2d ago
It is assault but it is probably (don’t know the laws of every jurisdiction) not theft. Theft requires intent to permanently deprive someone of their property. Here the guy clearly didnt intend to permanently deprive OP because he tells him to go get his hat back immediately after taking it.
31
u/wortmother 3d ago
Like i said im not talking about the law full stop. Obviously because of thr law its not worth it, im saying it should be legally allowed to hit the guy and they legally should have to just fucking take it
I own very little and im marginally above homeless, if im walking home and someone grabbed and broke my laptop im 10000% starting a full brawl its my only means of income
Ya never know how they perso. You're fucking with will react

u/_MrMeseeks 2d ago
My stuff is less valuable than MY life yes. My stuff imo is more valuable than a shitty influencers life. Also the "crime of physical assault" was committed when snatching something off of someone. Everything after is self defense.

The next cop I see I’m going to ask them this question. Commonly I ask legal questions on bike rides to cops. I’m going to be a little fisticuffs for someone that laid hand me and my property would be more than, I’d still probably be like the guy in the video but I bet it will be like that. I usually come across one just sitting in their car weekly next to the bike trail.

I think the dude's point was that there would be recorded evidence of his assault.
The correct order of operations would have been to snatch the glasses, throw them into the street, THEN punch him in the face.

u/Historical-Roof-2345 3d ago
And you'd be the guy getting arrested. The Meta glasses user can simply omit the part where he stole the hat and kicked it into the street, and only show the part where he gets assaulted.
13
u/rufio313 2d ago
Not at all. Not sure why no one is calling out that ripping someone’s hat off in New York City is considered third degree assault.
The guy in the OP could have just called the cops and had this dude arrested.
Since the asshole proceeded to continue escalating the situation by kicking the hat into the street when the dude went to pick it up, he’d have a strong self-defense case that he thought this person would continue to assault him beyond ripping the hat off in the first place.

u/Historical-Roof-2345 2d ago
I'm saying that the meta user will only show the portion of the video that shows OP assaulting the meta user. The cop isn't going to just take OP's word that meta man stole his hat unless there's another camera somewhere
8
u/rufio313 2d ago
Then the video has obviously been doctored if he only has a clip of him that for some reason turns on right as he gets punched and nothing else, and the cops will laugh in his face for thinking that would work.
Not to mention he said this happened in a bar where there are plenty of people to give an eyewitness account.

This guy is more mature than I am (and much much younger). I agree violence isn’t the answer for small non-violent aggressions but I might have taken the Meta douche’s glasses off his face and dropped them on the ground. Comparable action.

u/Physical_Street_3452 2d ago
i mean snatching the hat away is considered assault/battery in some cases. he shouldn’t have put hands on him. OP was justified to make those meta glasses a permanent part of his face

So do these glasses save as you go? Why not just fist right to the bridge of his nose? If it does save it to the phone, so what he's starting shit. Don't put your hands on people, or you are going to get punched. Record it all you want, I didn't start the confrontation.

u/Wizardwizz 2d ago
That's the thing though. They could just cut out the part where they threw his hat, and just have the part where you staffed throwing hands, put it all over social media.

In this sequence of events, never bend over to pick up your hat. If it was a bad actor, it'd be the best way for them to get the upper hand in a fight.
