Idiot that should have seized the opportunity to make good political contact in Nigeria that may put an end to his toilet cleaning job. He's busy disgracing himself as if that stupid act will change anything in Nigeria. If Aregbesola is wanted for I interrogation, FBI, Immigration and Police are there to do their job.


Lesson:

Don't fight for Nigeria wrongly

1stGenAmerican:


I’m not going to debate about the laws that I studied and received a license to practice.

Fuckyoumod:
lol.... You smash you pay!
You won't be allowed to leave the country until you pay. You schedule will be disrupted.
You might even end up have restrictions from entering America for 20 years.

If Rauf felt disrespected he should sue the guy!
Not smashing his phone, that's how it works in the states. U. S no bi banana republic bro!

obailala:
Is he a public official in the US? Is he in the US on any assignment as a public official from Nigeria? If a stranger walks up to you with a phone and starts recording, dont you think that's an invasion of your privacy?

Felimax:
Some Nigerians in diaspora are just plain stupid. The man from the video was not constituting any nuisance so why the video?

Yes, it's America a free country but I will smash your phone then we end it in court. Fool!

drakeli:
Public figures get recorded everyday. That’s why paparazzi do their job. What law prohibits them?

30naira:


He is not violating his privacy. When you are public,there is no expectation of privacy. The US supreme Court has long established that. That's why the paparazzi can camp outside your house and take pics. Like he said "this is America "

SisterFire:
...shut up ,I don't do this but I am ready to fight u dull Nigerians now ...Do you know what diaspora face all because likes of aregbesola made living hell in Nigeria? ...the pains,the Disgrace and anguish is second to none.
Aregbesola isn't just a someone but a tinubu drug boy boy thief ...I know him well in 1996 before my numerous trip .

NO .

You are in public and there is no privacy as long as they keep a reasonable distance . Does not make any difference that he is a public official that is irrelevant.
Anything that is in your visual field that you can record with your eyes in a public space you can record with your phone.
Why not invest a little time and do some research?
The legal positions is that is you are in public you do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy

So why not Google

REASONABLE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY

1stGenAmerican:


He isn’t considered a public figure in America. He’s an ordinary man, a guest, an everyday person. Public and private figures can be recorded without permission in public.

bekpo:
The idiot is a big fool. That u r in America, does that gives u d audacity to record someone without his consent? Even when he blatantly told u he's declind u recording him? People r just being stupid. Aregbesola should just press charges against d idiot.
Where ur right stops, someone elses right begins. Ur right isn't absolutes. U don't exercise ur right 2 d violation of mother's rights. This is really insane.

aribisala0:
In law it is irrelevant whether he is a public figure.

If you can see it you can record it

Hotguy27:
How many top government officials from the developed countries visit and roam the streets of Nigeria?
Useless Nigerian politicians.

dazzlingd:


With this introduction, that guy will never be our friend

Well I may be wrong

obstead200:

I do not need research to tell me that Ur interpretation of the law here is flawed. If u are recording the scenery and u capture me inevitably, then it is ok. But If u pointedly chose to follow me, chase me, hound me up and down just to video me, then it amounts to stalking, harassment and violation of my private space. Except I am constituting a nuisance and there is reasonable basis to prove that Ur action in recording me is intended to be used as some sort of evidence to assist the law enforcement

sketcherJ:
where is your fuc.king world? You keep shouting your world

ajl:


Yea. And if you feel threatened, you have a right to go to the court to seek an order that prevent that individual from coming near you by some distance. Thats how celebrities deal with stalkers.

obstead200:
he was lucky Aregberascal does not know the law. The ex governor can actually seize that phone and smash it on the floor, and the court will support him. He has every right to his privacy.

If I were the governor, I will bring out my own phone and record him too. Then I will whisper to him that his video would be sent to the DSS and SARS, who would pick up members of his family, particularly his mother, in Nigeria and make life horrible for them. That would reset his "this is America" brains .

NB: is not like I support theiving governors, but that does not mean I should violate his foundamental human rights unduly

1stGenAmerican:


I’ve been stressing this same point all along. ANYONE can be recorded.

DesChyko:


I would advise that you just check out the 'reasonable expectation of privacy first.'
That's like the first thing that came to my mind when Rauf began to expect what he can't get in a public space. If anything, it's the outfit that should establish rules against that and prosecute if violated, not Rauf.

This, my friend, is not Nigeria.

SisterFire:
...Damn it ,sue your ass Harvey , in my world that aregbesola man would have been burnt to ashes but in ur cursed black world u still side him. You are wicked yes
We live in diaspora because of this wicked souls eating our nature given wealth , we suffer bitten cold , humiliation for peanuts and total shame ,we hid our faces in a whiteman land with resources ,when in Nigeria we have it bountifully.
Is paining my heart that man didn't slap rotten teeths outta his maggotted teeth

aribisala0:
They are separate issues
Making a video recording
Stalking etc

They cannot and should not be conflated. I have a right to record YOU once you are in public not just the scenery .
There is nothing like private space perhaps you mean personal space which would generally be arm's length
It makes no sense arguing about stuff when the answers are in the public


I can stand outside your house with a camera and start filming you the moment you step out
Annoying but lawful

So the argument about making the recording has no merit and should not be conflated
Even if you feel you are being hounded what are you legal options? Certainly not smashing the phone which would be assault and criminal damage.
You at best can get a restraining order for persistent harassment

drsibz66:
As a public figure you can be recorded or photos of you can be taken when in public.

Only evil doers fear videos and pic.

Public figures get recorded, snapped all the time when in the public

Felimax:


And you think that is the best way to address him? For real? Are we really educated at all in this country?

So, to what end is the video?

I cannot believe I share same country with some class of people.

Did you see where the man even offered him space to sit down?
Will that not be an opportunity to kindly tell him you want to have him on video so that he can explain or address your grievances the best way he can and leave the judgement for the rest of us to decide?
