I'm in the middle of an issue involving my wifes ex-husband. We currently have a judgment that my son can not be at our home during times of her standard visitation. Her ex-husband has video taped my son at my home with out my permission. Is the fact that he has made this video illegal and if so what avenue can I use?
Correction to the posting Nov 26. The visitation is between her two boys from her marriage to the ex-husband. My son is of no blood relation.
So how does this affect an employer who uses audio/video recording equipment for quality assurance and training purposes? If that fact is posted in the room for all to read where the video/audio recording is taking place is that sufficient notice?
Well I install video audio systems an i was just charged with video taping a work in the store i installed this system in, i made no copes of anything that was recorded, i just used the online part to view the system to see that it was recording, per the owner of the system, Yes i was ask to check it, but was in fact charged with a state jail Felony this law is way out of line with what those police offices are using it for, talk about a bad misused law,
