What are My Rights Against Video Surveillance?

Violated Privacy asks: "A video bugging device was recently discovered in the bathroom of the house I share with three others. After sharing this find with one of the housemates, I am sure whose camera it is. Needless to say, we're both rather upset over the matter. What are our legal rights in this matter? It's not the government doing it, but another private citizen with whom we willingly (until now...) share a house. Are there special considerations? (Yes, I should ask a lawyer. I plan on doing that tomorrow when I get a chance. The problem is, most lawyers aren't exactly experts in this area.) Has anyone on Slashdot done research into this field of privacy law?"

A suggestion...

Hang a photo of the goatse guy in front of the camera...

Is there any question to which "You should use Linux!" is not the answer? ("What should I do about the hidden camera in my bathroom?" "Linux!")

Anyway, unless the roommate has a really old computer, he'd be better off using a Gentoo LiveCD with its Pentium optimization. That should save at least four or five milliseconds.
