Sorry what! 'Then I pulled out my phone to take his picture' I can't be the only one who thinks this guy is in the wrong.

You propose that people log there every day lives? Why don't we just increase the CCTV cameras on every street, so some one can watch our every moves 24/7.

Are you saying I'm in the wrong? If so, I'm not sure how you could justify that. The man was offending, distracting, and annoying everyone on the bus. His behavior wasn't illegal, but it should certainly be discouraged. Besides, photographing someone in a public place when they're currently being recorded by CCTV is about as benign an action as one can take.

I apologize if I've misinterpreted your comment.

You're not the only one. I think that strategy is overzealous and has potential to have terribly unintended consequences. Adria Richards comes to mind.
