Comment Re:Wasn't this established as a staged video? (Score 4, Informative) 94

I know he admitted the first video was staged, but most of the reactions this time around appear to be just as staged. Also, I don't think you can post videos of people in their home to your channel without their permission; their home is not a 'public setting' and as such even criminals maintain an expectation of privacy in this instance.

Part of the footage used in the original video came from fake thieves who where friends of the volunteers that put the package outside their porch without the knowledge of Mark Rober. All footage that came from those instances are removed from the original video as soon as he was made aware of the issue. It was outside his control so claiming that he did this is oversimplification of the issue. In the end quite a few real thieves where caught by his glitterbomb not all instances providing usable footage.

"Since the founding of our nation, many of our greatest strides—from gaining our independence to abolition of civil rights, to extending the vote for women—have been led by people of faith and started in prayer.” Donald Trump — This public service seems like a small step towards the cause of "abolition of civil rights". Maybe raise the price to a dollar a page? That way only the people that are really ''worthy' can finance legal council....
