A group of anti-maskers frequenting the South Bay may soon face legal action.

The group has become semi-well known for barging into businesses in the South Bay and recording their interactions with staff and customers.

Business employees have become fed up with the anti-maskers, as they are a danger to the health of staff and customers, prompting some to pursue legal action against the group, KGO-TV reported.

A YouTube account under the name Easy Belivsim regularly posts cell phone footage of the encounters where a group of men are seen entering a store without masks despite obvious signs indicating that face coverings are required.

In one video, a member of the group can be heard saying "Scared boys? If you smile we can't tell" to an employee wearing a face covering.

An owner of a bicycle shop in Campbell told the station that her store has been targeted three times.

"They wouldn't leave," she said, "and I was like I'm going to call the cops for trespassing and I'm not doing this anymore."

The YouTube channel often uploads conversations with store owners, however, the anti-maskers rarely ask for permission to record or post the interaction. Without consent, this is a violation of the law in the state of California.
