Smile for the camera

This woman must have been listening in on our recent lectures. While the issue at hand here wasn't catching a violent act on video, it was still illegal. She didn't catch the actual exposure on film, but she got the suspects face at least. The story can be found here. And if this video is going to be used as evidence, judging by the woman's reaction, I'm sure the actual act probably didn't need to be caught on video.


This story just came out yesterday when a woman was flashed in a New York City subway car and someone else caught the results on video. In a situation like this, I wouldn't necessarily intervene but if it escalated for whatever reason, the camera probably should've been put away to help mediate the situation. Also, they say that she shouldn't have reacted the way she did if the subway car was empty. Maybe she flipped out because she knew she was being filmed? Who knows. An indecent person like that is unpredictable, so maybe it was a good thing that she called his bluff in a packed subway car instead of an empty one.
