That is not what the Florida statute says when there other people viable.
The problem was that you shouldn't have been taking video when the woman whom your wife has issues with was in the area. Steer clear of such situations! It is common sense.

If that woman believed you were videoing her against her will, she had every right to complain.

As for Rohan's statement, he was covering the Villages with a stock answer.

No problem. Just make sure you are not in the vicinity of anyone that you have issues when videoing - or if someone says they do not want to be on your video - be a good guy and erase it - and apologize.

Maybe if you told us why you are upset with the recreation department it would help. Does it have to do with the chairlift in the pool? It is confusing to be asked our opinion when we don't know what is really the issue.
