Seems unlikely to apply.
1. "one-party consent" applies only to "wiretap" laws i.e. audio recording. It looks like a lot of this case is about photo and video data.
2. "one-part consent" refers to people in conversation. That definitely doesn't apply to Google here.
- bravetraveler 4y agoI think an important part of this is the 'reasonable expectation of privacy', too. From what I understand, recording video or audio outside in the public where there's no reasonable expectation of privacy is a-okay. This may put the ring cameras in an interesting position. They're attached to your home, yes, but they're looking at the public street.
- anon_cow1111 4y agoIs there any reason I can't put a Ring camera in the bathroom and sue someone's ass off later, though? Do they actually advertise them as being accessible by police, so the user reasonably expects their security camera footage to not be private? (I really don't know, I've only seen commercials which seem to imply it's just home camera/voice com you can use with your phone)
