Taking pics of someone while they pee is a jerk maneuver and clearly illegal. It seems like Petrelis has a mindset where the perceived correctness of his position overcomes any legal/ethical constraint. While I think this makes sense for situations like Act Up in the 80's, it seems like he's stuck in "by any means necessary" mode and relishing his attention and victimhood for something clearly wrong.
