It's a scary reality in 2022 that most people could, with you barely noticing, pull out their phone and start recording you. While this often comes in handy when highlighting people who have done bad things, some people like to do this for their own salacious enjoyment.
TikToker @dilf_30 caught a man in public filming something highly questionable.
Our original poster, or OP, said he then took the issue to management and to the woman the man was recording.
"What they did after that is not my place," he clarified in the comments.
Users were horrified.

Some users came in to question if OP filming the man was, in fact, a second social violation since he was technically doing the same thing.
“Neither the man nor the person posting this broke any laws. People are in a public space,” said one user.

Though it is technically legal to record someone in public, this can become a problem if the video goes viral enough to make money.
"I have something called the right of publicity, which means I have the right to control who makes money off of my image," said lawyer Jennifer Ellis to The Verge.
But otherwise, there is no law prohibiting this.
"As long as the person is in public, as long as they do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy, these recordings are 100 percent legal."
"So if we don’t want them, that is a societal issue because I cannot begin to think of a law that would be constitutional that would stop it."
