Many of the private places into which he walks are already under surveillance that the people in those places have forgotten is there. To paraphrase someone else on this thread, the existence of EC2 means that we all have the equivalent of having a camera inches away from us or following us, and most of us don't even realize it. Nobody would be comfortable with the way he acts, and nobody should be comfortable with ubiquitous mass surveillance.

You're completely ignoring the fact that it's alarming for a person to act this way towards you in public... camera or not. He acts in a way that many people, especially women, associate with antisocial or predatory behavior. There's also a significant difference between employer-installed cameras and trespassing (which unlike photographing public space, is actually a crime). If someone stood stationary in a public place while recording, the reactions would be much more mundane. There are all sorts of street photographers who photograph people in public, and while people do get upset, it's nowhere near the frequency in his videos. There's a reason for that. There's a point to be made about surveillance, but surveillance camera man is also defying social norms to get these reactions... which severely clouds his alleged purpose.
