How to deal with blackmail when recording bad videos?

If you record a bad video and use it for extortion, you should call the police immediately and keep relevant evidence.

This kind of behavior may involve the crime of extortion, which is a criminal act. Before calling the police, it is best to collect and keep all evidence related to extortion, such as text messages, emails, telephone recordings, etc. This evidence will help the police to investigate and convict the suspect. The crime of extortion refers to the illegal possession of the victim's public or private property by intimidation, threat or coercion for the purpose of illegal possession, which constitutes a crime. In this case, the blackmailer takes your bad video as a threat and asks you to pay a certain amount of money, which constitutes extortion.

In addition to calling the police immediately and keeping the evidence, the following measures can be taken:

1. Don't trust blackmailers' threats easily, and don't pay them any money, otherwise it will only make them more arrogant.

2. Discuss with family, friends or lawyers and ask for their help and advice.

3. Strengthen self-protection awareness and avoid falling into similar traps again.

To sum up, in the face of being blackmailed by bad videos, we should resolutely call the police and keep relevant evidence, and at the same time strengthen our awareness of self-protection to avoid being hurt again.
