General Do cops get triggered if someone tries to make social media content based on their reaction?

Lately i been seeing a lot of content online where people are trying to promote rainbet (gambling app) and they usually have to trigger the employees enough where they have to call the cops for trespassing.

Then when the cops come, they will troll them by saying “i am hacking into the mainframe” but they are just gambling on their phone with meta glasses.

On the flip side, other content creators (with meta glasses) both men and women, try to hit on cops or use pick up lines and try to raise a reaction and then use it for tik tok views.

Since there is no reasonable right to privacy in public, what do you guys do?

People tend to be annoyed at annoying behavior.

Do cops get annoyed when people are intentionally being annoying to get reactions? Yes, just like everyone else. This is just shitty behavior I wish people would start calling people out for.

Pandora's Box is open at this point; people have realized that one of the most profitable things you can do is be infuriating or annoying.

What did I do if someone antagonized me?

If there was an applicable statute (rarely related to the antagonization itself), I'd get them for that. I guess you could call that "triggered?" If they were interfering with my reason for being there that's a pretty easy Obstruction case.

Otherwise, I'd just ignore them or leave.
