‘A lot of Rizz?’: Livonia man records women without consent for social media -- and it’s legal
Several Livonia residents are concerned about a social media content creator recording women and children in public without their knowledge.
Livonia police investigated complaints tied to the social media videos.
A woman, who chose to remain anonymous, said she was followed by a man at a Target in Livonia. She told Local 4 that the man tried to hit on her and made her “extremely uncomfortable.”
She then learned that her awkward conversation with the man was posted on his social media page without her knowledge, recorded with his Meta glasses.
“I noticed he wasn’t pushing a cart, he didn’t have a basket, he had nothing in his hands. He was clearly there for that reason, which makes it even more uncomfortable,” she said.
She is not the only woman the man has encountered and recorded.
