Does he really think that that will happen? There will always be a video of him now and he cannot do anything about it.
If the police come knocking on your door stating that there has been a complaint, put your foot down and refuse to take ownership of other people posting the video. The police will then return to the guy and tell him to stop wasting police time as there is no way that the police will contact every YT user who has uploaded the video and go around to their house just to 'have a word' and take it down.
His actions are futile. Keep us posted with what is happening.

BTW, have you reported his comments to the police (threats, etc)?

 

[davefb]

can you not report YT posts as offensive / threats ? it just seems to want to 'reply' or 'report as spam' ?
what a tool

This is my video. I took it down because the guy had logged a privacy complaint on it and YouTube would have removed it anyway.

Stupidly my YouTube account was linked to my Twitter account and from that he got enough information from another google search to work out where I worked! He then rang my office and got through to me. At which point I just hung up. That lunch time I went to the police station. They said as I had replied to him on Youtube on the video it cant be harassment. So they have written to him requesting he does not attempt to contact me again, if he does I can then take it further. Its at this point I took the video down so the police could include in the letter my video has now been removed.

I've blocked him on Youtube and whilst I am reading the comments on the duplicates I think its best for me to just keep quiet on them.

So a bit of a warning to everyone, with so many accounts for different things make sure people cant piece them all together!

Not only has it multiplied on YouTube but it has escaped off YouTube onto the web, it is on Daily Motrion and a Vimeo channel called "The Streisand Effect"(not sure about my spelling).

 

[davefb]

"because you replied it can't be harrassment for him to ring up your place of work" .. wtf ?

 

[theFire]

Something to do with me engaging with him and not telling him to not contact me

 

[gambatte]

difficult to make comments, if they're disabled?

Not quite a troll but something which has caught my eye recently:

I am in a polite discussion with someone about their punctuation and grammer:

• GET A LIFE YA shoot

• I have a life, and a nice one at that. Clearly with the words and phrases that you are using, you dont really have a good grasp on life and just go around on YT talking shoot to people and making stuff up.
  Then when you are questioned, you just give people abuse. I dont think I am the one who needs to sort my life out, you are.

• ahhh help that was right in the heart ahhh fark really god why would you say then bad bad things to me ....right i want you to smole some meth and go find a hooker and stick yout dick in her the kick the stuffing out of a homeless blind guy then you can speak to me you boring little man
  mac garr in reply to monkeysnutscom 24 minutes ago
• Sorry, I didnt understand a word of that.
  I now retract my comment, you dont need to get a life, you need to get some lessons on punctuation and spelling. Go back to school.

• to suit you ya little self-gratification artist i think not im sorry if my spelling is not up to little lord fauntleroy's vanity fair standards but ill try harder next time while im farking your mother ......
  mac garr in reply to monkeysnutscom 2 minutes ago
• Correct spelling and punctuation is not a high standard, it is just common sense. You are on a public website where a wide range of people viewing you comment need to understand it. What you have put is probably only understandable to people similar to your IQ. If what you put is correct English, then everyone who speaks English will be able to understand you and therefore be able to comment on what you have said.
  Its not difficult, you went to school didnt you?

Dude. If you're going to call people on their spelling/punctuation/English usage, you should probably make sure that you're using the language correctly yourself.

In other news, arguing on Youtube is an exercise in futility.

Nice putdowns there Matthew!! LOL!

An example of why you should keep your youtube life away from your personal life.

I have my Cyclechat account linked in with my YT account but I dont hold personal data on here at all. My FB account is private and I havent used my twitter since I created it.
People can work out my name but YT has my age wrong and my location is always general.

If someone was really intent on finding me and had to correct resources and knowledge very close to the police's level of knowledge, then it is possible to work out where I am and who I am. But that is the same with the majority of people who use websites like FB, YT and twitter. And then they would have to work out when I am going to be in.

I would have had to have done something very bad for another member of the public to go through that process just to talk to me. I would have had to have killed someone or something.
