> “Mr. Hay had no reasonable expectation of privacy in a view of the front of his house,” said the U.S. Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals in its decision on U.S. vs Hay. “As video cameras proliferate throughout society, regrettably, the reasonable expectation of privacy from filming is diminished.”
Anyone care to speculate on how that same court would rule, if a case involved citizens recording the activities of judges or law enforcement officers?
- singleshot_ 3y agoSure. I would speculate that the victim of the surveillance would not challenge the surveillance based on the notion that they are entitled to privacy, but instead, that the operator of the recording equipment is not entitled to operate it, either because it is not permitted first amendment activity or, more narrowly, because it breaches the peace. Court would rule against the idiot trying to mess with the judge and society would continue to function normally.
