Last night, I saw on MTV's Boiling Point a guy walking by a beauty salon watching (random) women getting pedicures. At one point, he started videotaping the women's feet. They felt uncomfortable about it. One of the women got up and said "I'm calling the police". A few women decided to be patient with him and were surprised when he gave each of them $100 for their patience.
My question is, did the employees of the salon know about this situation? If so, why whould they let something like this happen? I wouldn't be surprised if that particular woman really did call the police and pressed charges against the guy, or even filed a lawsuit against the salon for letting this happen. If I were that woman, I would've told the salon manager first about the matter, and then make the police a last resort (if the salon manager doesn't do anything about it).
It's one thing if the guy was watching the women as he walked by. But when he pulled out that video camera, he went too far (especially when he didn't have their consent to take videos of their feet). It's fine if the women give him permission. Otherwise, he should've left that camera put away.
On the other hand, if these women weren't comfortable about being watched (through the window) while getting pedicures, why didn't they consider that before going to that salon? The chairs were right by the window. I'm not saying it was ok for that guy to be such a pervert, but these women should understand that if they go to get pedicures in salons, there is a possibility that other people (besides the salon employees and other customers) are going to see their feet getting done.
About this TV show, I'm sure that the salon employees were in on the whole thing, but why didn't the producers of the show take into consideration how the customers might feel about this?
