My response speculates a hyperbolic worst case scenario for him that he is a violent rapist and I agree that his victims need to have their day in court.

I am also trying to illustrate that the thing he is a part of and may be using as a fortification against prosecution from that assault, is an important issue as well. Potentially effecting many more people.

I don't have an answer for this, nor a dog in the fight. It's just a very fucking hard situation to make blanket statements about.

Specifically around the 18:00 mark. Also he does provide source examples that you can ruin your computer with if you want.

He gets into a lot of it, but shows quite a few examples including what I'm talking about. The people that he catches aren't necessarily savvy, but he does talk about taking pictures fast enough for the light not to be visible.

Even if it was, most of the time when people are taking surveillance webcam photos (a hacker or a person trying to recover their stolen laptop) you can take the picture so quickly that they probably won't see the light.

I keep mine covered because I work remotely a lot and I don't want to accidentally shirtless video chat someone from bed when I meant to make a different type of call.
