Guy calls cops on ScrewAttack trying to raise money for charity, gets arrested

ScrewAttack went to a local GameStop location 2 hours before the launch of Super Smash Bros. Brawl; they were attempting to auction off a copy of Brawl to raise money for their friend, who has fallen ill.

One person in line did not want to "be on camera" so he harassed the ScrewAttack crew, who were filming the event for a future webcast. He took swings at the cameraman, without realizing that maybe he shouldn't be physically assaulting people while being filmed. Eventually he got so worked up that he called the police, who arrived and promptly arrested the man!

1.2 - yea, and bagman was a real man!
Yeah, the ignit person that didn't want to be on camera, who was burried in the line and had to go as far as to getting himself arrested so they won't have a blur of him in the background of the video for an auction for charity was a real man!

I like how the paparazzi and cameraman always say it's assault when the person who they're shoving a microphone or camera in his face moves it away

Now that's being a pu$$y

I don't condone him attacking the crew but if you dont want to be on camera that is your right and if they don't respect that they yes show them that you are serious.

That guy was a moron, if he didn't want to be on camera so much why the hell did he get out of line and stand over IN FRONT of the camera?

One thing I learned the hard way one night. ..cops don't like to be filmed. And I was drinking so I kept pushing the envelope hah, that almost ended in tragedy.

No permission is required. Film crews, and the public in general, have an unequivocal First Amendment right to film any public place, within reason. Courts have ruled on numerous occasions that there is no expectation of privacy in a public place. This is the bread and butter of news organizations and magazines like The Enquirer, People, Star and others. The law is on the side of the film crew, in this case.

One notable exception, however, is commercial use of your likeness. Someone cannot use your picture for commercial means without your permission, and this is the source of much confusion as it pertains to public filming.

10.3 - There's a difference between Kanye and regular people
When Kanye speaks of it, he's talking about the paparazzi and as a celebrity, you'll see more of them then anyone else everyday. However, if your like the 99.9% of this country that isn't famous, what he says in that song need to apply to your ordinary lives.

11 - This reaches a whole new level in stupidity.
He probably told his girlfriend he was working or his boss he was at home with his sick mother or something and he didn't want them to find out he was really ditching them to go stand in line to buy a videogame, a kid-centric videogame at that.

If I was the guy with the microphone I would have been praying in my mind that he would lay a hand on me so I could lay his ignorant a** out.

12 - idiots
1st. The cop was an idiot. From was i saw from the footage, he had no reason to arrest the dude.

2nd. You can film somebody but you must stop when requested, yes, i know it was a crowd. But that does not change the fact that he was in the footage.

3rd. The bloggers (or w/e the guy who was selling is) wasn't really being co-operative. After he asked to not be filmed, they seemed to have stuck the camera right up his nose (although the guy who didnt want to be filmed did over react a bit...)

4rth. These guys are dumb asses, I can't believe they published this video. retards, they obviously don't have an lawyer. The guy specifically asked to not be filmed over and over again. At least they Blanked out his face, but thats not enough.

This video was clearly published with the intent of humiliating the person, so technically he has a case here... (at least according to Canadian laws... which is similar enough to American)

*puts on flame shield*

no he had no reason to cause a disturbance. Although he was in the crowd that the camera was pointed at, he was facing AWAY from the camera, but he turned around and got in the way of the crew. His face would not have been in the camera at all if he decides to just stay in the line and face towards the store like everyone else was before the crew arrived. He just wanted to cause s*** and he got what he deserved.

16.1 - And you sound much better
Calling Americans retarded;just because there are morons in America, doesn't give you the right to insult the mentally handicapped, and the common citizen.I didn't check, but I would say you are European because of your smug,"We are better" attitude like Europe is so much better than anywhere else in the world.That attitude has caused the slaughtering of millions of people,and a crap load of stupid wars. You people only like to think about the wars we've been in in that last 50 years, how about you people think of the wars you've been in for the last 2000 years.

Disregard this post if you don't think like this jackarse and/or your country has not been in these wars. This isn't for all Europeans,just for the jackarse like him.Most of the people, I speak of, are from those countries that have been in these wars. From my experiences.

And I know other people hate us too, but Europeans have no right to hate on anybody.

23.1 - Paparazzi or Gaming journalist?
I think there was a misunderstanding here. In you're 1st comment I believe you were refering to that type of "anoying hollywood stalker paparazi." People who disagreed probably thought you were talking about actual journalist.

Basically... You showed your hate for paparazzi, but some ppl here probably thought that you want all professional journalist to F off.

C'mon guys give this guy his bubble back. It was misunderstanding.

P.S. PLZ Don't take any of mine :i lol
