Streamer's Unsettling Encounter on Rodeo Drive Raises Privacy Concerns Over Smart Glasses
Beverly Hills, California – A popular female streamer, known online as Poki, recently shared a disturbing encounter on Rodeo Drive that has ignited a conversation about privacy and the ethics of public recording. The incident, which occurred on August 20, 2025, involved a man who allegedly used smart glasses to secretly record her without consent. Poki recounted that she was walking with friends on the upscale street when she was approached by a man. Initially appearing to be a street photographer, he later engaged her in conversation, asking questions about her career as a streamer. The interaction escalated when the man reportedly began asking provocative questions about a controversial male streamer known for his negative remarks about Poki, seemingly attempting to elicit an emotional response. It was only after the encounter that Poki realized the man had been recording her the entire time using smart glasses. She expressed her shock and concern, emphasizing the unsettling nature of being recorded unknowingly, especially in public settings. "I don't agree with unconsensual recording," she stated in her video, highlighting the potential for misuse of such technology in various scenarios. The incident has resonated with many, drawing attention to the increasing prevalence of discreet recording devices and the need for greater awareness regarding personal privacy in an era of pervasive technology. The discussion extends beyond public figures, raising questions about the boundaries of consent and personal space for everyone.
