Furious Boyfriends Catch Creep Taking Photos Of Their Girlfriends At A Store, Make Him Regret It Instantly

ADVERTISEMENT

Two videos of a group of shoppers confronting a creep taking photos of young women have gone viral on TikTok and social media platforms like Twitter. TikToker Daisy, aka @dayskae, uploaded the videos on her account showing how a man was taking dozens of photos of her and her twin sister right out in the open, in a store in Michigan.

Daisy was out with her twin sister and both of their boyfriends when they realized what was happening. The group confronted the creep and demanded that he delete the photos. The first video got over 271k views on TikTok while the second one went even more viral, amassing over 3.5 million views. Scroll down to have a look at how everything happened, Pandas.

While one of the boyfriends made sure that the man delete all the numerous photos he took of the guy’s girlfriend and her sister, the other boyfriend went off to find a store employee to inform them of what’s happening. When the employee confronts the creep about why he was doing what he was doing, he replied that it was out of boredom.

Most people who saw the videos were shocked that someone would take photos of random women right out in public, even though they should definitely have known better at his age.

On the other hand, some internet users defended the man, saying that there was supposedly nothing illegal about taking photos in public. However, that argument quickly falls apart when you learn that the man had taken a whopping 69 photos of the two young women.

Unfortunately, Daisy’s TikTok account got banned for “multiple Community Guidelines violations.” We’re unsure if the ban had anything to do with the two viral videos. Some TikTok users were curious to know what led to the ban and what happened to the man in the video. There doesn’t seem to be an update from Daisy since she uploaded the videos in late August (yet!).

One of the people who helped Daisy’s videos go viral is Twitter user Fifty Shades of Whey who shared one of them on his account. Some people on Twitter suggested that the group should have called the police instantly instead of getting the man to delete the photos, as they could be considered evidence of his wrongdoing.

Previously, Bored Panda spoke about harassment in public with Emily May, the Co-Founder and Executive Director at ‘Hollaback!’, an organization that aims to put an end to harassment in all of its forms. She said that most young women who are victims of harassment blame themselves for their experience. This can especially be true for teenagers who might be scared to talk about what happened with their family and most trusted friends.

“In the same way we tell our teenage kids that if they get drunk and don’t feel safe driving home we will pick them up from wherever they are, no questions asked—we also need to tell our kids that if someone harasses them we will never, ever blame them for it or punish them for it. This is important for creating a safe space so that they have a trusted adult they can process these experiences with,” May explained that unconditional support is what’s needed.

May said that rebuilding a sense of security after being harassed can be challenging and some victims do not regain it at all.

“One thing that can help you build a sense of safety, however, is community. Take the time to get to know the good folks in your neighborhood and build positive relationships with not just your neighbors, but the people who deliver the mail, the trash folks, the guy that mows your neighbor’s lawn, etc. The more people you know, the more people will have your back if something happens again. Knowing this can increase your sense of safety and belonging in your community,” she said.

Here’s how some internet users have been reacting to the situation at the store

Storytelling, journalism, and art are a core part of who I am. I've been writing and drawing ever since I could walk—there is nothing else I'd rather do. My formal education, however, is focused on politics, philosophy, and economics because I've always been curious about the gap between the ideal and the real. At work, I'm a Senior Writer and I cover a broad range of topics that I'm passionate about: from psychology and changes in work culture to healthy living, relationships, and design. In my spare time, I'm an avid hiker and reader, enjoy writing short stories, and love to doodle. I thrive when I'm outdoors, going on small adventures in nature. However, you can also find me enjoying a big mug of coffee with a good book (or ten) and entertaining friends with fantasy tabletop games and sci-fi movies.

Legal or not, I wouldn't want some stranger taking pictures of me...Just cause it's legal does not mean you have to be ok with it...

Pretty sure that taking pictures of people in a public space is not illegal. Morally or ethically dubious perhaps, but not illegal. Getting into someones face, threatening them and/or their property IS illegal. Honestly, as much as I sympathize with the "gang" here, I'm not sure they were in the right, legally speaking.

In the US it would be extremely rare to be arrested for being threatening in these circumstances. If cops were present, they - as moral, non-robots - would most likely try to follow up on the creep more than anything - get his information and look into his past behavior and maybe tip off the sex crimes department to keep an eye on him. He would also most likely be banned from the store, for whatever that's worth. His biggest risk is non-legal trouble - people finding his identity and going after him in various ways.

If anyone with knowledge of law can help with this. I am not talking moral or ethics but is it legal to take photos of people in public without permission? I was at a horse show taking photos or riders and some were children but all were in the ring. Those outside the ring we asked their (or their parents) permission.

As far as I’m aware, it is not illegal to take a picture of someone in a public place. What you then go on to do with that image then enters a whole new sphere of legality. But just taking a pic? Nope, so long as the pics are not indecent and you’re not harassing anyone for the pic. https://www.blpawards.org/competition/photo-rights
