Ford Edge Driver Rear-Ends Man in PetSmart Parking Lot. Here's What to Do if Someone Starts Filming You After an Accident
Dealing with a car accident is never an enjoyable experience. But what should you do if the person starts filming for online content? Diesel (@diesel_2fast2quick) recently made a post in which he apparently exaggerated his injuries after a woman in a Ford Edge backed into his truck in a PetSmart parking lot. Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use . 'Ma'am, did you just rear-end me?' Diesel says, laughing, as he begins to film. The woman appears displeased with being recorded. 'C'mon what is this?' she says. Diesel raises his voice, saying over and over, 'My back is hurt! Oh god, my neck.' Neither vehicle appears to have any visible damage in his video. It is possible that there is damage that doesn't show up on camera, but it appears to be minor at best. Diesel nevertheless leaned into the injured neck and back trope. In a comment on his post, which appears to have been made in jest, he wrote, 'I'm currently in a full body cast.' What to Do if Someone Starts Recording You Being filmed in public can be uncomfortable, especially if the person recording you didn't ask for permission. Almost no one wants to unwillingly become the star of someone else's viral video. But generally speaking, it is legal to record people in public. The American Civil Liberties Union reports that people have the right to film in public places. If in private, you have to ask permission. PetSmart is a privately owned company, but it's open to the public. Staff there could technically ask Diesel to leave, but it's unlikely the woman has the right to ask him to stop filming. Most states broadly allow people to record at establishments that are open to the public, so long as there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as in the bathroom or shower. So while Diesel may have annoyed the Ford Edge driver, it's unlikely he did anything wrong. Trending Now 'Why I Hate New Cars': Man Tries to Replace a Headlight Bulb on His 2022 Toyota Corolla. Then He Learns Something Unexpected 'I'm Not [an] Expert:' Man Gets in a Honda Civic. Then It Starts Making This Mystery Noise When He Puts It in Reverse Here are a few things you can do when someone starts filming you in a public space: Stay calm and focused; Film them as well; Ask them to stop filming if uncomfortable; Avoid confrontation; and Call the police if necessary to mediate. The main thing is to keep tension low to avoid conflict. It kind of makes sense to record after a car crash. Being in an accident can easily raise emotions and cause people to lash out. Fistfights and other acts of violence often occur after car accidents. Your video can also serve as a record of the weather, traffic, injuries, and condition of the vehicle(s) after an accident and provide evidence for all parties. Is This an Example of 'Clip Farming?' Many content creators do something known as ' clip farming ' in the hopes of going viral. Clip farming is the practice of exploiting a situation for the purpose of generating viral clips, often with the intention of gaining online attention and popularity. Tactics include intentionally being funny and over exaggerating moments to increase the chance of going viral. One person accused Diesel of doing just that, writing, 'Bro probably ain't even want the insurance details he just wanted to clip farm.' Others weren't concerned about how Diesel got the content, they just thought it was funny. 'Lmao bro earned a follow,' one said. Many piled on to the joke, making comments like 'OUR back is hurt' and 'Praying for [a] fast check, I mean recovery.' Diesel is fully committed to the apparent bit. He told Motor1 , 'Yes she came flying in like Ricky Bobby my head hit the windshield and I got badly injured. I'm in a full body cast and my neck and back is broken.' His TikTok has 440,000 views as of this writing.

.Woman Has Message for Previous Owner After She 'Figured Out' Why Cat Dumped
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A cat owner has joked that she has "figured out why she was dumped" at the shelter she rescued her from. In a viral video on Instagram with more than 430,000 views, Caitlin, 32, who didn't give a surname, shared how she has embraced the constant chatter of her beloved six-year-old cat, Clover. The feline was sadly returned to the shelter, twice, possibly due to her insistent vocal nature. Caitlin first met Clover while working at an animal shelter, where she frequently spending lunch breaks among the adoptable cats. Unlike the others who mostly kept to themselves, Clover would run up to her, loudly demanding attention. "I was never much of a cat person but I fell in love with her," Caitlin told Newsweek. "She was due to be taken to a pet supply store the day I took her, kind of like how they have adoptable cats at PetSmart... I told them they had to make sure she didn't go and I adopted her that day." Pictures of Clover the cat in the viral video about her loud habits. Pictures of Clover the cat in the viral video about her loud habits. @ Originally named Patches at the shelter, Caitlin gave her a new name inspired by her knack for finding four-leaf clovers—a fitting symbol for their shared luck. Clover, now in her loving forever home, has always been noisy. "Her favorite things to scream about include reminding me that it's dinner time for the entire 2 hours before the time she actually eats, screaming her thanks after she eats, greeting me when I come in the door and her favorite, for no reason in the middle of the night," Caitlin said. Read more Woman cares for feral cat for years—what he does in final moment shocks her Woman cares for feral cat for years—what he does in final moment shocks her Why do some cats meow so much? The most common theory as to why cats meow stems from the fact that they learned and adapted to do so some time after becoming domesticated. Cats rarely meow to each other and outside of their households, saving these particular vocalizations for catching the attention of people. Just like people, some cats are more chatty than others. Reasons that some cats meow more than others vary, depending on breed, personality, upbringing, environment, health, and learned behaviors. Certain cats, including those who are well-socialized or have learned they get more attention from vocalizing, will simply meow more than others. It usually isn't a cause for concern if your pet is more vocal, though if your cat's vocalization changes or is suddenly excessive or different, it is always a good idea to consult your veterinarian. The recent lighthearted video of Clover's incessant chatter captured widespread attention, as the caption said: "She actually got returned to the shelter twice. Prolly bc [probably because] she never stfu [shut the f**k up]." It amassed hundreds of thousands of comments since being posted to the site last week, as it prompted many to share their own experiences of noisy pets. "My tortie talks allll the time. Never shuts up. I just mimic her meows to see how close I can get or I predict them. Turned it into a game," Syddd17 said. And Ladymocha83 said: "I have 2 cats that never shut up. But I love them so much. Had both for over 10yrs." "I was nervous it may have reached the wrong audience and people were thinking I would actually get rid of my cat," Caitlin told Newsweek. "But luckily it seems like the reception has been mostly good and it has been fun to read all the comments from other chatty cat owners." Despite the occasional sleep disruption with her chatting, Clover is an essential part of the family. "How lucky we are to have the privilege to be annoyed by them," Caitlin said. "She's my daughter and she's stuck with me for life!"
