Dressing Rooms "Monitored" - In What Sense?

You are so very wrong. Two way mirrors and video cameras are legal in many states to watch dressing rooms......

---

Mirrors and camers are highly illegal in any instance wherein there is a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Please cite the state statutes that allow this sort of activity.

Laws vary by state, sometimes quite significantly. See, for example, the Maryland statute which exempts from its voyeurism law the use of surveillance cameras when a person "without prurient interest ... conducts or procures another to conduct visual surveillance of an individual to protect property or public safety or prevent crime."

Most, if not all, privacy laws have essential elements that comprise the fact(s) that when one (the shopper) has a reasonable expectation of privacy then any violation of said privacy is therefore unlawful.

I will look for specifics when i have the chance. In some states, once you post a "same sex agents will monitor dressing rooms"; expectation of privacy is gone. You cannot expect privacy when a sign tells you there will be no privacy. I will find some specific examples when i get the chance, It is a busy day at work today though.

edit: Aaron already found one for me, I'll find a few more later.

What question?

I was stating that you can be monitored by mirrors or cameras in dressing rooms in some states, you said it was not legal anywhere. You asked to see statutes, and Aaron found one already, before i even had a chance to look.

....... once you post a "same sex agents will monitor dressing rooms"; expectation of privacy is gone. You cannot expect privacy when a sign tells you there will be no privacy.

THAT question smartguy! :D

How is that a question? Just out of curiosity.

Ok so in Maryland (far as we know) some LP or anyone can watch a young lady or child!:eek: in afull state of undress! Aaron you posted the statue please explain how a camera can be placed in a fitting room!

The content of a notice may make a difference to the expectation of privacy under state law, but if the state's anti-voyeurism law does not provide an exception for store security (posted or not), a sign isn't going to protect the store from culpability. In some contexts it may make a difference if the dressing room is merely observed (even if by camera) or if a recording is made.

There are a zillion ways you could install cameras in a room, including visible cameras, pinhole cameras, cameras behind one-way mirrors... That's not my area of expertise.

If I have to explain it to ya then it may be above your level of comprehension to begin with.
