Dipterocarp Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 As I was departing a popular gastropub type place today. Saw a small black plastic cube with an LED light on it sitting on a shelf between some knick knacks. I absently middle picked it up what is this a speaker, no it's has a camera lens! I put it down and this guy rushes from way across the room who is at a table by himself apparently, saying "Hey thats mine" ( UK type accent, not sure). I just said sorry it just caught my eye. Then I left realizing this goon is underhandedly setting up a camera filming the place. I looked it up it is something like a go pro Hero / Polaroid Cube/same same but different. By the way in my country (US) you have no expectation of privacy in a public place and people can record anything they want. On private property the owner/management could ban filming or ask you to leave. Just seems a strange thing to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merylhighground Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 How do you know he isn't the owner/management or there by leave of the owner/management? What I find stranger is someone who would pick up an object belonging to someone else with no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dipterocarp Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 I don't know but he looked like a tourist. The place is Thai run and has their own CCTV system Wasn't thinking, like a child picking up a toy. If I was a soldier in a war zone I would probably be at risk of being killed by an IED.

You wanted to nick it that's why and that's why they have cameras watching you slurp your lunch. Naughty boy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pgrahmm Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 It's possible the guy is doing his own PI work for whatever reason..... You exposed his hidden location -exposing it openly to others.....You also possibly moved the focal area away from where he'd set it...Either way - or for countless other reasons - he felt exposed/paranoid..... You walked into the middle of something....Maybe a good place to avoid for awhile.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upside Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Did the guy have a porn style moustache and did you see a Ferrari out the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mooner Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Maybe he is a youtube vlogger and was recording a sequence. Quite popular to put the camera on record and move across the room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
