What are My Rights Against Video Surveillance?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday September 28, 2004 @06:58AM from the this-is-not-a-reality-TV-show dept.

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?"

This is the best idea. EVER. No lawyer fees. No frills. Just secretly hang the goatse and/or tubgirl in front of this. Hilarity ensues. You are a genius, jo42. one megakudos for you.
