I'd have think the kid's in the right - every time II go into 7-11, I get videotaped, a bank, a grocery store - so many places record us for security reasons. I wonder if I went into 7-11 and recorded with a non-concealed video camera if I'd get kicked out? What if I told them it was for personal security so I could identifgy someone who might attack me before entering exiting, or even while in the store? Then again in this case, if the officer was part of some kind of sting operation, and the kid videotaping it was 'blowing their cover,' the court could easily [as could I] that the kid was endangering the officer's safety, and possibly his own. |

Except 7-11 is private property and they could tell you to leave. What I think it says is that when you are out doors there is no exception to privacy (with privacy having its legal meaning, not what we would think as privacy meaning - case in point the State court ruling that the law on videotapping up skirts was not written correctly because there is no expectation of privacy [in the legal meaning] in public, even if it is up your skirt). As far as an undercover sting, at least then the police can argue that you are obstructing an investigation. On the flip side, more and more police use video cameras when they pull us over. What do you think would happen if you told the officer "Sir, can you please turn off that camera, you are invading my privacy." |
