I think one day we will reach a point to where you leave your cellphone outside the strip club or bar because you then can't be accused!

I think it will go down like this :

1. A case will be made that bars/clubs did in fact provide some privacy.

2. Recording what's inside and the distributing it somewhere without consent will violate the privacy usually had inside a club.

3. Someone will win a civil suit based on this argument because they lost their job.

4. The loser(cellphone recorder) of the civil suit will sue the club for not posting a warning about recording. They will lose the suit because the law didn't require a posted warning.

5. The loser(cellphone recorder) will then push a bill into law requiring a posted warning.

6. The bill will be amended to make recording in the club an arrestable offense.



I suggest people go back to showing some class/civility with their cameras and stop believing that everything within camera view is "free game" to exploit.

This example is what I predict for the future : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jersey_v._Dharun_Ravi
