Criminal and civil lawsuits are separable.

  > Criminal and civil lawsuits are separable. Of course, you can sue for literally anything, but what damages would they claim?

    I suppose if you could get anyone like this woman involved as a witness to testify that they will be less likely to be a patron of the business due to behavior like this you could claim damages that way.

    IANAL but similarly if someone steals your bicycle/car/camera while you’re not using it and then brings it back in pristine condition, what damages would you claim? It’s more like “this is my property, I make it available to public under some conditions, this guy violates that condition”. That said, the reality is that property owners and adjacent people often benefits from property being featured in a viral video. Unless US adopts similar restrictions as South Korea on photographing strangers, I guess these cases will keep happening.

        Fair enough!
