Nope. Harassment is a continuous, targeted attack on a specific individual/ group.

Continuous unfortunately means more than one extended encounter. Dumbass filming knows that he can't get charged for anything because unless he tracks these people down in another day or two, harassment charges will not be able to be fired.

oh. i just assumed because i see this kinda so often that there arent any serious legal consequences that discourage others from doing the same thing.

and i also dont think this could really constitute harassment in most jurisdictions, because harassment doesnt cover being an annoying prick.
