MEmily1105's Business Law thread

[quincy]

MEmily1105 asked about the laws that govern cameras in the dressing rooms of retail establishments.

What is perhaps interesting is that the majority of states do not have laws prohibiting the use of cameras in dressing rooms (Michigan is one of the few that has such a law).

There is the federal Video Voyeurism Prevention Act and there are state privacy laws that prohibit the filming or photographing of people without their knowledge or consent in areas where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. These areas generally include bathrooms, bedrooms, locker rooms and dressing rooms.

However, these laws do not necessarily prevent cameras in retail store dressing rooms when signs are clearly posted stating the dressing rooms are being monitored. Courts have upheld the right of stores to monitor dressing rooms by loss prevention personnel through the use of cameras in these areas.

No she did not. She wrote "...Using rights principles of ethics, what ethical issues are raised by such action? "

That isn't asking about the law that is asking about ethics and sounded way too much like a homework question and I said told her so.

Based on the posting history of that OP...Who cares. The disgusting posting she made, IMO , makes that OP a foul mouthed jerk.

She later asked about camera monitoring in dressing areas.

I read her threads, by the way. I am not speaking of her or her behavior on this forum but the legal issue she raised in her thread.

She started the thread with a subject, "Business Law Question."

Then she went on to describe a situation right out of a business law class and the only questions mark was at the end of the sentence "...Using rights principles of ethics, what ethical issues are raised by such action? "

That is not a question about law that is a question about ethics. It is also a homework question.

I read her thread. I understood exactly what she wrote. And I didn't see what she wrote as a homework question out of a business law class. I accept that you saw it that way.

Here, by the way, is a link to the Video Voyeurism Prevention Act: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1801

The post was composed, and the question written, very much like a homework question.

 

[PayrollHRGuy]

Quincy, you read the rest of her posts. Do you really think the person that wrote them was capable of composing the original post?

 

[quincy]

I read the whole thread. She said, "I'm sorry but you are wrong it's not homework" and she later said, "I just wanted to know specifically what laws would be violated in this case" (with the case being one from Walmart).

This thread was actually designed to address the legalities and not designed to address the poster who raised the question about the legalities.

Cool I'm out.

 

[quincy]

Cool I'm out.

You aren't interested in the legal aspect, huh?

I find it interesting that very few states actually prohibit camera surveillance in dressing rooms.

You have no problem with some stranger watching you or - and here is where I am uncomfortable - watching your wife or your child, undress on camera?

 

[Zigner]

Are you trying to entice him back with thoughts of people undressing?

Any mention of nudity always attracted the attention of You Are Guilty and senior judge. Haha.

I'm still in contact with Senior Judge - I'll have to point him back at this thread.
