Because you don't want to leave fingerprints behind when you unplug something on camera.
Secret…agent man!
Hi
Oh sorry, I didn’t mean you, not-so-secret agent man
It's not illegal to unplug something
Actually, it could be. That could be considered vandalism (you're intentionally making unauthorized modifications to equipment to prevent it from working as expected) which is illegal.
But this is New York, so who knows if they would even enforce that.
So people can just unplug cables at data centers because it's "$0 property damage criminal mischief"?
Come on, their lawyers would (successfully) argue that they experienced loss of revenue for any amount of time their remote cashier system was not connected and operational...
They can just plug it back in. It'll be ok.
Oh, I guess if you can just plug it back in, that just invalidates the downtime that was caused or data being lost.
Being able to undo vandalism doesn't make it suddenly not vandalism.
They use fingerprints for murder cases, not camera unplugging cases.
Also, this lady now has a job and you’re talking about ruining her job.
Man wtf is this shit jfc..
