To be clear: that could be what's going on here. But I suspect the law on this topic is a bit more subtle than this comment suggests.
- TylerE 2y agoHe has admitted those videos are 100% staged with hired actors. https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/a8848z/mark_robers_viral_glitter_bomb_package_was/ https://www.reddit.com/r/youtube/comments/a8848z/mark_robers...
- shadowgovt 2y agoI believe your summary of that Reddit comment is overly-broad: he admitted two of the videos involved a friend-of-a-friend volunteer that he was "unaware" had staged the theft. The thread then goes on to do some heavy extrapolating based on that thin evidence.
- banannaise 2y agoYes. He's just doing it in such a way that the legal system feels little to no impetus to intervene. In practical terms, the legal hazard to such a trap is the possibility that one of two things happens: 1. You injure the target in a way you didn't intend, such as causing an eye injury with a glitter bomb, which gets the attention of authorities. 2. Someone who isn't the target inadvertently sets it off and is sufficiently pissed off to seek legal redress.
