Q: What can I do about someone recording me on their smartphone at McDonald's?
Two women slammed into my car in the drivethru and yelled when I said there were scratches. they begin to threaten to attack me if I kept yelling back at them. Then they insisted that I was racist and started recording me saying they don't care when I told them to stop. They have a hit and run charge, but I'm concerned that the women that threatened to attack have a video of my face and my license plate.
A: Nothing you can do about that. If they post it you can try for a cease and desist. If you have collision on the car, why not run it through that, let the insurance company go after them.
William John Light agrees with this answer
A: You were in a public place. You have no complaint about being recorded.
