I love how shocked the photo shoot people are that when they do their photo shoot IN PUBLIC that someone from the general public is going to stop, notice this hot chick doing her poses, and decide, "hey I would like to videotape that."

"how DARE you videotape shiat that is out in the public!"

Good luck proving intent but given it's Texas I'm not surprised that law was passed and would be less surprised if a jury convicted someone with no evidence than a mere accusation.

In reality people take photographs that some consider pornographic but are at best bikini shots circa 1953.

What was that? A sneak preview of NY douchebags on parade?

Coming this fall, New York assholes being themselves...

The guy making this video is Joey Boots, known for being on the Howard Stern show. His site is full of videos of him trying to cause a disturbance to get laughs. He's not focused on getting footage of the girl (in fact, he's openly gay) but the reaction.

I refuse to let your "facts" stifle my righteous indignation...

What kind of creep do you have to be to blatantly videotape a butt in public, citing that it's your right to be a pervert?

The kind who constantly hides behind legal abstraction and self-indulgent constitutional blather, in order to justify a complete lack of concern for decency and sweet fark all else.

swahnhennessy: What kind of creep do you have to be to blatantly videotape a butt in public, citing that it's your right to be a pervert?

The same kind that wears super short shorts and opens their crotch to the public. Switch out the hot chick with a fatty or a guy, and the story changes to 'police arrest person for public indecency'.

Few years back I bought a digi cam and while just taking random shots to get used to it I was surprised how some people were upset somebody was taking pictures in public places.

The picture that drew the scariest confrontation was one I took of a building. In his defense it was a bar and he probably thought I was some kind of investigator.

I must of really looked like a pervert back then or something. My favorite dirty look came from a group of fugly's. They were standing in front of a Picasso. The Picasso like eight stories high in Chicago's loop.

What were they doing there? Posing for pictures in front of a Picasso that's what they were doing.

videotaper could have been more polite as noted, but the rest was a total group of douchebags too!

"how dare you record something in public!" yeh, okay.

I'd tape that ass.

Tap... tap, that ass.

Sorry.

"That's my daughters ass you're taping, pervert."

"That's your daughters ass blocking traffic on a busy New York street, Parent of the Year."

For some people, public means "for me" and that's as far as their little minds can take them before the effort becomes too great to bear.

god dammit link broken!

Oh, and did the White Knight biker rider remind anyone else of what Ted Nugent would look like if he gave up meat and started hunting granola?

I'm glad we have Texas. We need a place for the 'special' people.

Also, 17's legal here. She can come shoot at my house, if I can shoot something of mine...

skinink: Only in NYC can something happen where you have no sympathy for anybody. The videotographer had the right but was being pervy in what he was shooting, the photograghers wanted privacy in a public area, and the white knight bike rider needed to mind his own business and his tough guy act made him look like a douche.
If anything I rooted against the bike guy who was "all in your shiat". If the video guy had punched him out that would have been the only good part of the video.
I want the right to be able to film in public but this type of video of someone getting cheap thrills hardly makes people sympathetic to your cause.

Actually, if you're in Times Square, you're probably not a New Yorker.

If the videographer wasn't Joey Boots (or whoever), then it was probably a tourist. Just like the biker. Just like the camera crew.

New Yorkers don't willingly go to Times Square unless they need to. It is literally infested with tourists.

/Living in Jersey City; I am 30 minutes from Times Square

Hope I'm not disturbing you, but uh, I saw you from across the partystreet. I don't usually do this, but I felt compelled to tell you something. You have an absolutely breathtaking hiney. I mean that thing's good. I wanna be friends with it.

Times Square is mostly for pedestrians. The roads are mostly blocked off except for a couple of lanes and cross-town streets here and there.

So that's what Mr. Peterson from Ferris Bueller's Day off is doing these days...

I would think it comes down to the question of consent. If the girl says to the guy "please don't film me" then the guy should respect that, despite his "right" to film whatever he wants, whenever he wants, wherever he wants. To me, at the point when someone asks you to stop taking their picture, they've clearly indidcated they do not grant consent, which trumps your right to take pictures in public. From then on, the argument that you don't need their consent and that whatever constitutional amendment covers public videography protects your right to infringe on other people's privacy is just douchebaggery.

That said, I agree with you that not a single person in this vidoe gets any sympathy from me. Not the ball-tickler sporting bike messenger, not the attention-whore teenage ballerina and her exploitative entourage, and certainly not Mr. Crotch-closeup video.

brigid_fitch: Kubluedevil14: Girl says she is 17 at the end.

Doesn't matter if she's a minor--she's out in public & therefore has no expectation of privacy. Doing ballet exercises in the middle of the street isn't child pr0n, if that's what you're getting at.

And, if video crew & Dad didn't want people taking pics of her butt, then they should have either 1) gotten a permit & blocked off that section of street or 2) shot it in a private studio.

Thinking about it they probably would of been better off taking stills of just the street scene and photochopping her in later from studio shots.
