I think you could have asked for security to come to the next stop, maybe there is a help button someone on the train?
There isn't any.
You may not like it, and that is rather strange and creepy... but he did nothing illegal.
You deserved the spazzing he gave you, though. As the saying goes, "you can't control what people do, but you can control how you react".
From a legal point, he did nothing wrong, so you have no case. You should have just left it alone.
No she would have a case. She didn't consent to her picture being taken. I assume they are just random morons. Even if they didn't take the picture they should of shown the proof that they didn't. If they put her up on fb and such she can actually take action, but I don't think that would happen because they seem to be the type to aggravate anyone but not take it further because they are scared to get in trouble.
Oh jesus, you're acting like she assaulted him or something. She asked him to delete the photo that he took of her without her permission.
Of course she can ask! But there's nothing she can do if the guys says "no "
This is the stupidest fucking answer on this thread. And there are a lot of stupid answers here.
Damn its Bern awhile since I had this many downvotes! :-P
#EmbraceTheHate
Embrace it and rethink your answer maybe lol
I'm also not arguing the "legal" stand point of it. She had her picture taken without her permission, remarks made about her and refusal of the picture being deleted and you told her she deserved that, what did she do exactly?
Don't sweat it girlslie, he's prob one of those people who tells a rape victim not to dress a certain way because then she's 'asking for it'.
Video tape him with your phone and show that as proof to authorities when you get hold of his name and where he lieves.
Girls sometimes take a pic of a random male stranger too thats just life
Exactly lol
Wow anger issues that's just the stone cold truth
Why all the downvotes though? lol I could show physical evidence of women taking random pics of guys.
Because your comment hd NOTHING to do with my question. You just wanted to start a gender war.
Where did they take the pic?
I wtore on the train. Do you know how to read?
That's not "just life" that's sexual harassment. It's horrible to invade another person's privacy like that without their permission. It's perverted and rude. That's why you have 14 downvotes :|
@BellePepper lol and I bet you were one of the ones who down voted me :P lol it is rude but its not illegal getting upset over it is not gonna help her the worst that guy could do is like go on a dating website and cat fish using her photo and make creep comments.
You're right I did downvote you. Just because the law hasn't caught up with technology doesn't mean that it's okay to do. It's scummy to do and it's scummy to make excuses for it.
@BellePepper they do know about it they just don't do anything cause not enough people care about it or complain about it
So how does it feel to contribute to making women feel unsafe just for daring to use public transport?
@BellePepper since when did I say I did it? I am just saying there is not much you can do about it the government takes pics of people on a day to day basis and they even hide things from us life area 51. You don't have to do something to accept it.
You said since there are no laws there's no problem but say there's no problem because there are no laws. That's ridiculous and that sort of thinking is exactly why there aren't laws against this sort of behavior. Just because you haven't had this problem doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
I never said we shouldn't have laws when did I say that?
@BellePepper and I never said there are no laws either.
"they do know about it they just don't do anything cause not enough people care about it or complain about it"
Yeah I was talking about the government and that doesn't mean there is no government lol
@BellePepper if not enough people complain about something the government won't do anything about it that's why taking photos of people in public is legal.
I cannot with your not logic anymore.
Bellepepper little tip in an argument don't put words in people's mouth also if you stopped being so serious in life and leaned to joke around and take things less seriously you would be much happier.
@BellePepper _
This girl went through a horrible invasion of privacy and personal boundaries. It's not a joke. Are you the type of person that likes to "joke around" about rape too?
I have had people take pics of me in public her going to the cops and complaining would be even worse for her because the cops would tell her that that is not illegal and if she kept telling the cops to do something about it eventually it would get on their nerves and they could arrest her for not leaving the cops alone. @BellePepper
If someone is harassing you and taking your picture without your permission, that is wrong and you absolutely should call them on it.
It is but trying to contact the authorities would do no good so there is no point in being upset over something you can't control @BellePepper plus its not all that bad I mean certain things in public are illegal like say someone can't record a personal conversation in public or any of their personal information
I'm not going into this with you again.
That's illegal and next time someone does that to you, tell them you're sending them to jail! It will scare them really good.
I don't think it is illegal tho
... Maybe where you live.
Hey dont feel too bad its something that both guys and girls do when they see someone attractive.
So what are you hoping for us to say? I am sympathetic that you are upset, but unfortunately there aren't any options available to you other than to let the anger pass and get over the situation.
I actually didn't know it was legal till I asked this.
impolite, i suppose, but legal. scotus has ruled you have no expectation of privacy in public places, so unless he uses that, say, in publication or such... legal.
some phones come with a feature that its backlight blinks for notification of messages, mails etc. maybe he received a message or something and you thought he is taking picture. it may be a misunderstanding. so try to forget the incident.
it should be compliment. you are hot.
most girl ugly don't ever get picture from stranger.
guys do it all time and i like candid booty videos.
Unfortunately, there is nothing illegal about taking pictures in a public space, as there is no expectation of privacy there.
You can ask them to erase the picture but they don't have to.
I did ask them
And he refused, because he is under no obligation to erase it.
There's nothing you can do here except get over it, no laws have been broken.
Can't handle the truth eh?
I can see why they wanted a picture of such a charming, delicate flower as yourself.
Nah I know the truth. But you and every other guy on here has shit advice.
He is such an asshole.. But don't worry.. Life is boomerang :D
Yeah, it's highly inappropriate, what else do you expect us to tell you?
I was hoping it's illegal.
Unfortunately that is legal, as humilliating as it is.
Ugh what a douchebag... You could have gone to the police but yeah you had no proof.
Maybe if you whine and complain some more it'll make every miniscule problem go away.
K daddy
You are welcome my daughter.
I didn't say thank you
You are grounded for talking back to your dad.
Yeah I'd just sneak out.
You are really gonna get it once I tell your mother about this.
My mother wouldn't care
That's a lie. Your mother is gonna rip you a new one.
Rip me a new one
?******
I've seen facebook posts of women taking pics of men and those commenting never seem to complain about it being creepy or invasive =/
Don't make this a fucking gender war. Goodbye.
God people like you are so annoying lol. You're part of the problem and you're exactly what you hate but too ignorant to even notice it most of the time.
Lol. I like how butthurt they get when they are called out on the same thing.
Take his picture and send it to the police.
You should have killed him...
lolol
Its really pathetic that people actually do this.
