Police step in after angry man confronts streamer for filming in Japan Twitch\/robcdeeIRL Twitch streamer \u2018robcdee\u2019 was confronted by a livid bystander while riding a bike through the streets of Tokyo and filming his daily activities. During an October 2 broadcast, the popular Australian streamer, who has been documenting his life in Japan for two years, was confronted by man who claimed it was \u201cillegal\u201d to be filming in the country. \u201cDon\u2019t put the f**king camera on my face!\u201d the man shouted as Rob and a friend rode past. \u201cDid you know I could call the cops on you for shooting that f**king video?\u201d While the mere mention of calling the police may be a huge red flag for some, Rob wasn\u2019t about to have any of the man\u2019s threats and even seemed to welcome the idea. \u201cYou want to call the cops? Let\u2019s do it!\u201d the eager streamer replied. \u201cAre you sure you want to do that?\u201d the man, who was still off-screen asked. \u201cThis is f**king illegal in Japan! You can\u2019t shoot no video without [someone\u2019s] permission.\u201d Rob chimed in that filming outside was perfectly fine, which just irritated the man even more who continued to shout profanity. \u201cWhat do you mean f**king [filming] outside is okay? It\u2019s not okay!\u201d the upset man continued. Eventually, the loud confrontation resulted in both men agreeing to go and speak with the police to settle the dispute once and for all. From here, the group went down to talk to law enforcement, and everyone started conversing in Japanese with English no longer being spoken. After a long, drawn-out discussion, eventually, Rob was able to go and explained what the verdict was. \u201cSo basically, he\u2019s wrong. What we\u2019re doing isn\u2019t illegal. What we\u2019re doing is fine,\u201d Rob said. \u201cHe was saying what we were doing outside is illegal, which is not true, obviously, because we went to the cops.\u201d According to Rob, the police said it\u2019s better to not film in that area because people are sensitive about cameras. \u201cObviously, because they\u2019re scamming, right?\u201d he laughed. That said, as long as Rob wasn\u2019t focusing the camera on the man and deliberately filming without his permission, he was in the right. If you ever decide to visit Tokyo, this is something important to keep in mind \u2013 especially if you plan to videotape your adventures in one of the world\u2019s most popular cities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
