PRIVACY

RIGHT OF PRIVACY: AN OVERVIEW

Distinct from the right of publicity protected by state common or statutory law, a broader right of privacy has been inferred in the Constitution. Although not explicity stated in the text of the Constitution, in 1890 then to be Justice Louis Brandeis extolled 'a right to be left alone.' This right has developed into a liberty of personal autonomy protected by the 14th amendment. The 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendments also provide some protection of privacy, although in all cases the right is narrowly defined. The Constitutional right of privacy has developed alongside a statutory right of privacy which limits access to personal information. The Federal Trade Commission overwhelmingly enforces this statutory right of privacy, and the rise of privacy policies and privacy statements are evidence of its work. In all of its forms, however, the right of privacy must be balanced against the state's compelling interests. Such compelling interests include the promotion of public morality, protection of the individual's psychological health, and improving the quality of life. These distinct rights of privacy are examined separately on the following pages:

The don't care, just accept it, attitude of many is exactly what has allowed our government to be in the controlling position it is in today regarding the privacy rights of the people.:(

And sadly we all know that it's a moot point now.
The Patriot Act took care of any questions that there might have been anyway.:{

George Orwell loves camping.....;)

Instead of us trying to find ways to put out a fire on a faulty appliance 'known' to have fire issues.

How about everyone getting on board and STOP these dang manufacturer's from continuing to sell these RV fridges that are a time bomb waiting to catch fire, burn down an RV and kill someone?

And this is related to cameras in campgrounds how? Just asking!

It's not!:B
This is a reply on a totally different subject in a different thread that showed up here.

This is happened a couple of times I was responding to a thread and it showed up on another thread!

I've seen a couple of others too. Must be a hic cup in the forum.

Our daughter works for Calif. Dept. of Fish and Wildlife, she says that they use them to monitor certain areas where illicit activities are occurring. And yes someone does scan the memory for images but that is done by LEOs or scientists and they don't watch the videos per say. It seems that most of their recordings are made in specific areas of illicit goings on and not a general, Lets set up a trail cam and see who we can catch.

I think that if asked, most LEOs on here would say the same thing and, that they would not give you any information specific to and investigation. It has been my experience that most folks using the DVRs, trail cams or what ever you want to call them are not on fishing expositions. A lot of them however are not very open and won't say anything at all. They have a misplaced sense of their own importance and that you don't need to know anything as important as their operations. Others will just say I can't tell you the exact purpose but it is part of an ongoing investigation. That is SOP.

There have been many times the media gets hold of stuff like this and blow it out of proportion !and! expose an ongoing secret investigation and ruin it. Like I said this is my experience.

I think it... yes it was, Summmer 2013,,, Some kids came down the road keying cars and trucks, Thousands and thousands of damage, It is possible they MIGHT have done some damage to my RV (Though I'm not sure, other explanations for that line make more sense) They got caught cause their IQ level and shoe size were in contention to see which was larger, but.....

Had I found out about it about 2 hours earlier..... I had 'em on camera. Could have saved the manager perhaps 15 minutes investigation time.

(One of The DRV's in my rig, If I am in a park where it might be needed, I let it record a camera any time it has nothign better to do,,, It also records when Im on the highway)

I plan on buying a 8 camera system that I can view from a I-phone for my house. It's a different world then the one I grew up with. To many think the rules don't apply to them.

As far as campgrounds, It would be great way to catch a thief.

I disagree... Some of us don't see it that way! If it were inside your home then yes it's a violation of your privacy.

Out in the public.... I wish there was more of them! In particular in traffic intersections where they could be used in traffic accidents as to what happened than my word against your's.

More and more people are getting dash cams so the chances are you're being recorded more often than you know.

The only hidden campground cameras I worry about are the ones they surreptitiously put in my RV bed & bath rooms.

I worked in a casino (Foxwoods) for a year or so. Cameras were expected everywhere. Those cameras were so good they could read the serial number on a dollar bill from 50 feet away.

what rights of privacy do you have/expect in public? Do you understand the word privacy?
