EXACTLY.
Except I would have also gone to the cops if that person had not immediately deleted the photos and shown me proof of that.

Security cameras are different and they are everywhere. And they are needed for security purposes. I don’t understand how can you compare security cameras to a person taking someones picture deliberately without consent on his personal phone/camera. There is a big creepy and stalkish factor to it.

And its not always about showing your skin. Why does everything boils down to skin? If I am just chilling at a restaurant minding my own business and random person starts taking my picture on his cell phone (discretely) and I hear the clicking sound and I found out about it, I would be pissed. He has no right whatsoever … what possible purpose could he have? security? nope .. thats what the ceiling cams for .. it just adds a creepy and pervy factor which normal person does not like. You might be ok with random dudes taking your pics in public but most of the people won’t be.

Being in the background is different. You are not the person’s objective if you are in the background. Its just common sense. You don’t feel ashamed or throw a hissy fit. I don’t believe that breast feeding momma would have any problem if I am taking a picture of my family in a restaurant and she is in the background. She won’t even notice it. Or even if she does she would just move away. But if I deliberately take her pic then yea thats not good. Why should she be blamed for feeding her baby in public? … its like saying since you are feeding the baby in public, I would call all the neighborhood boys and make them watch you since they haven’t seen boobies. Even though it is not illegal, its not right either. Common sense!

Yea no charges would be filed which is understood. He was being creepy thats all for which he was fired because he was the employee of the deli and was supposed to make customers comfortable .. not freak them out . customer service 101.

I agree she over reacted and went to the police and all but its her right. A complaint to the manager would have been enough though.
