There's got to be some more context to this sequence of events to make it legal.
If I went to a bar and picked up a chick, brought her back to a hotel room and had someone secretly filming inside, wouldn't I be thrown in jail? Let alone if I did that, didn't tell her, and then released it publicly for money. Am I missing something?

I agree. Something doesnt seem legit and/or legal.

He certainly crosses some ethical lines. Some of the scenes in the first one made me pretty uncomfortable with how he took advantage of people's niceness and generosity. The lady that taught the manners class comes to mind.
But legally, from what I understand he gets signed waivers from everyone that makes it into the film. I'm guessing Rudy signed a waiver thinking it was legitimate news interview, which from what I read was how they framed it - she was interviewing him. When the interview was done, she invited him to the bedroom of the suite where this scene played out. I don't know how it passes legal muster when it is hidden cameras though.

They have to get a release from everyone to obviously use their image, likeness and persona in the movie.
Most States require that you have to tell the person they're being recorded if they're not in a public place.
But yeah, even in the lawsuit from those racist frat boys in Borat...they admitted they were told it was being filmed, Borat - was making a movie (they didn't tell them it was Sascha Baron Cohen) and the kids signed releases to be on camera (they claimed they were duped.)
So to answer your question, especially after the first movie's lawsuit...nobody is being secretly filmed, no one who appears in the movie is doing it against their will and they all signed releases and were most likely paid and had contracts with Cohen's production company. So yeah...staged if you will.
