For this audit I collaborated for the first time with @SeeBS2 to document outside this restaurant along the public sidewalk. Soon after I began my documenting , one of the wait staff who was heading out toward the outdoor patio said as he walked by , don't film me. A short time later one of the managers who resembled Jack Black made contact with me , wanting to know the purpose of my recording. When I declined to give any details, he claimed that my recording was making him uncomfortable & the waiter again made an appearance claiming the California is a two part consent state when it comes to recording...not when it comes to recording anything in plain view from a public space. The waiter also stated that my recording was making him physically uncomfortable, so I suggested some 2ply tissue or some preparation H since he seemed butthurt by my cameras. He then stated that my comment could be implied as hate speech regarding hemorrhoids as a medical condition . We were ultimately met by two managers , the Jack Black doppelganger approaching once again to give us a cam back up close. The female manager appeared to get on her phone to place a call to police possible. We didn't see any law enforcement in the vicinity while we were there documenting as we were in the area for almost an hour documenting. A local newscaster was also in the area , doing a story across the street about the rise in incidents with the homeless population in the area.
