You might want that, but it isn’t reality. In reality, you do not have any kind of “don’t record me” rights in public outside of the extremes like upskirts.
I’m kind of astonished that you don’t seem to be able to discern between laws, rights, and societal expectations. There’s nuance here that seems to be completely lost on you.
You’re correct that recording people in public is legal. However, while most people don’t mind being recorded for surveillance / security purposes, they sure as fuck do mind being recorded as content for someone’s tiktok following.
Like any anti-social behavior, most people might just ignore you, some people will tell you to knock it off, but sooner or later you’ll encounter someone who doesn’t give a fuck and they’ll retaliate, perhaps violently. This shouldn’t be surprising.
Is it “right” or lawful to assault someone who is recording you? Of course not, but it’s a manifestation for society’s distaste for this shit.
