MAGA man secretly recorded men using restroom, claims he was looking to catch "grooming" - LGBTQ Nation

"A 61-year-old Florida man was arrested on Saturday on charges of video voyeurism after filming men in the bathroom at the April 18 Naples Pridefest and posting the video to YouTube. Andrew Sheets posted a 40-minute body-cam video of his time at the event, which included bathroom footage. The video also shows him asking various vendors and attendees whether they think it's against the First Amendment that the nearby streets were blocked off, presumably for security, so that protestors could not get too close."

"In the bathroom footage, Sheets uses the restroom, then captures others in a mirror while washing his hands. The people recorded ended up being two undercover cops, who reportedly told police they felt "shocked" and "embarassed" by the video posted online. "Yes, I did go in. Public bathroom. Nobody was in there. I went to the stall to pee," Sheets told Gulf Coast News Today."

""My intent was not to get [expletive] pics, like they're trying to say. If it was illegal, why didn't the cops have it taken down? If it was illegal, why [isn't] YouTube taking it down?" A statement from Naples Pride said Sheets was using Meta smart glasses to record and pointed out that "the irony is difficult to ignore." "A man who publicly accused our community of 'grooming' now stands accused of unlawfully recording people in a place where privacy is expected."
