People get so annoyed so quickly, it's hilarious.

On the one hand, it would annoy me if someone did that on the street for no reason at all. On the other hand, it's quite interesting that the majority of people will react like that.

It's also a little bit creepy.

Just watched them all and genuinely fascinating to see people's reactions. He does take the piss a bit by walking in to restaurants and going in the back.

we're filmed almost everywhere we go in the uk so I'd just ignore the guy just like I do with CCTV. He only seems to stick around if its bothering you,

It's rather funny actually and interesting seeing their reactions. I think I'd be amused and quite nonchalant if someone was doing that to me, certainly wouldn't try and fight the guy.

I can completely see where people are coming from, because you can't compare this to CCTV at all. If some random guy starts filming you literally IN YOUR FACE, and when you ask him what he's doing he just stands there like a complete weirdo and doesn't respond you're gonna think he's not quite with it. Besides CCTV isn't targeted at individual people, but this guy aims it straight in people's faces so it makes it personal.
I would be very uncomfortable but I don't think I would get violent like these people, at least not that quickly Laughing

Its strange, how quick most people were to threaten violence...

Kind of reminds me of sink estates and schools where there is an undercurrent of violence that can break out at any time.

What an annoying weirdo. Seemed to me like another one of these ridiculous hipster art attempts I keep seeing at the moment.

Camera or no camera, I think anyone would quickly be annoyed by a person standing and staring at them. It's just made worse by the fact he has a camera because you know your image is being recorded for some unknown perverse reason.

Ok you can argue CCTV does it all the time, but also it's surely obvious that CCTV footage is far different from this guy making personal camera footage.

I'm a bit surprised at the general consensus of non-violence from BCF!

In my opinion if you ask the person to stop, and they refuse, then they're being an absolute dick. If someone doesn't respond to a polite request to stop, and worse they simply blank you, then go for it. I was disappointed that nobody did actually properly hit the guy/smash the camera during the video.

I was in Doha airport the other day waiting to get on a plane, as I turned round, there was a guy pointing his iphone right in my face, and he immediately whipped it away as I turned. It looked like he was taking a picture of me, (or of someone very close by). Kinda strange if he was, just thought he must have been some weirdo and I didn't threaten to batter him either.

If someone wants to film me in public then that'd be dealt with the same way that security guards in shops who've decided I'm suspicious therefore they're going to watch me. Take them for a walk and see how long they follow for. Mr. Green

Anyone that gets violent within 20 seconds of being on camera needs a reality check.

The ones in this video that do are more stupid than normal since the whole thing is caught on video so if they did actually hurt the guy, unless they stole the memory card, its all recorded.
