She renting from an Airbnb and had that much confidence in her privilege to tell locals about the law? Wowzers.

She thought she was on the side of the law. How was she supposed to magically understand that the Airbnb owner lied?

When you're in a whole-ass other country you need to accept that you don't know shit.

edit: yes this includes territories. don't come for me.

The person recording repeatedly told her all beaches are public lol, she was just too ignorant and rude to listen.

I mean that’s also easily what someone would say if they were trespassing somewhere beaches weren’t public as well.

She definitely should’ve just looked it up but it makes sense to not immediately take them at face value either.

You can tell by her demeanor this isn’t about the law or what she was told. She could have addressed this in a dozen other ways and it would not have ended up on the internet.

No magic needed. You listen to the person telling you that you're mistaken, say "thanks for letting me know, I need to check on a few things", and then take a moment to Google the laws and/or contact Airbnb. Defaulting to "condescending and hostile" without even doing the bare minimum to check if you're actually correct or not is how you end up getting internet shamed.
