Just found this when seeing if it’s legal to film someone at Costco. Since it’s a membership required store, I was just curious if members were entitled to an expectation of some privacy. Here is what their website says:
“Individuals and businesses who wish to film, photograph, or broadcast at any Costco location must simply fill out a Media Request Form. ... If approved, we'll also ask that you submit a "Costco Filming Agreement."
Wonder if these mask shaming assholes have a filming agreement (they don’t). Why does Costco allow some of their store rules to be broken but not others?
Exactly. You have no legal right to film on private property. The manager if he does show up should kick that guy out of the store and ban him for following and harassing customers.
The woman should've just walked away with her mom if she could. It's key to demonstrate this person is physically pursuing you, and do not engage in conversation in any way except to make specific declarations like "stop following me. You are making me uncomfortable. Please stop following me."
Follow those two steps then go ahead and skip the manager, call directly to the police. Or shoot the fucker dead.
Not a fan of false sexual assault allegations, but if she had said that the dude filming her had tried to grope her, he would have shut up immediately.
If you haven't seen Kevin James short film on Youtube called "Out of Touch", you're in for a treat. Kevin knows all about these twerps who think they rule the rest of us.
Part of what also steps into this is whistleblower law ( or some called close to that ) in respect to the exact state. Some states are more than one party consent ( lady being filmed must agree ). Some states are one party consent ( Lady being filmed doesn't have to agree). Part of this is also store policy, private party, public, etc.
Consent laws don’t have any weight when in public as there is not reasonable expectation of privacy, and I don’t think there is anything legally that can be done to these people. But, if a store has their own rules/guidelines, the question is why are some ok to be broken/ignored while others are enforced.
Interesting to see if Costco, and other paid membership clubs, are considered public or not. If they’re considered public then I suppose the respective states consent laws would apply, but I don’t know how anyone can argue they expect privacy in a Costco. Intriguing

That escalated quickly.
User name definitely checks out
Now, the woman can sue Costco for the damage the man made on her because costco failed to enforce it's own store policy.
There's no damage here. Hopefully this woman has forgot about it and moved on. Don't give these morons the satisfaction.
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. Paraphrasing Mark Twain.
u/HungNavySeal300Kills I don't know about calling the cops. You're likely to get arrested for no reason if that happens
I’d say he was stalking by filming and following her

Same here, I'm no fan of it, but sometimes I feel we need to fight dirty.

That reminds me of directions on some Military bases, and by God some are strict as all hell about it. Malls can be like that too.
