Secret Home or Office Videos of Guests?

Privacy Warning

As outward-facing video cameras become more common in homes and offices, owners will be tempted to video record visitors. Imagine a protective parent recording a teen party in the living room.

In view of current privacy law, owners would be wise to post notices informing people that they may be recorded.

Reasonable Expectation of Privacy?

The operator of a wearable camcorder may be wise to get permission before video recording people. Without permission, privacy law issues can arise. People recorded by small, personal video cameras may not realize they are being recorded and may think what they were doing or saying was private. http://hack-igations.blogspot.com/2008/03/robots-as-keepers-of-legal-records.html
