It's not oddly specific, it's just plain voyeurism.
> was apparently so common that the government mandated all cellphone cameras must play shutter sounds that cannot be muted. What the hell?
It doesn't have to be common for a law to be put into place. A Similar law exists in Japan as well.
> doesn't this law just push pervs to snap video instead of still shots while unnecessarily degrading user experience across society?
Yes, it's largely political theatre.
- potatopatch 3y agoI've seen a couple people who I think were vigilante in their photo taking, but either I missed something (and the person photographed clearly did too) or they were a bit off their rockers.. To me it seems like a law that attempts to handle something that is also generally discomforting.. I.e. after that kind of an experience one can wonder if the under ground man has a collection of photographs of you for some slight you don't understand.
