The sign does not exempt you.

The sign removes the presumption of privacy which is a component of the law.

I hope you aren't an attorney because your interpretation of laws is horrible.

Comparing rape to recording a conversation in public (where it is very clearly stated in all state and federal laws that no one should have any expectation of privacy) is more retarded than the rant on game day.

I can go and record whomever I want out in public and there is nothing they can do about it. Now the difference is recording someone in a private setting like their home, office, etc. is where this law applies.

The sheriff was in a privately owned establishment that is open to the public and had no expectation of privacy in that situation. The charges against that PI will not stick. That's not even taking into account that the guy was not hiding while recording them. He made himself visible and present. It's not like he was out in his car hiding and using one of these...

Where in the law does it say the law is nullified if there is no longer a presumption of privacy? Also, there already is no presumption of privacy in public whether or not there's a sign.

Please look at La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 15:1303 and let us know where this "component" is. Please cite the text in the law that you are talking about.

Thats always been the rule. You can't legally record a conversation (or I guess use in court for anything) you're not part of.

I could see an appellate court pick that statute to shreds.

Again....my understanding is the law forbids recording of a private conversation.

Therefore, in the courts view for a conversation to be private there has to be a expectation of privacy.

If a business has signs up warning that audio recording is being utilized there is no longer an expectation of privacy in that area.

The employees knowing of the video taping would help deter that even happening in the first place.

Unless they are stealing out of view of the existing cameras.

Please cite where the law says anything about expectation of privacy being a factor? Private conversations can exist even when expectation of privacy does not exist.

Quote the law.

With no expectation of privacy it is impossible for any conversation to be considered private.

The fact there are "private" conversations in that type situation are only a result of no one making them public.

Again, a private conversation is not the same as expectation of privacy. Just because two phrases have the same root word in them does not mean they are the same thing.

A private conversation can still exist in a public setting. Like if I'm talking to my daughter then that is a private conversation, not one broadcasted to a general audience, although there is no reasonable expectation of privacy. You may overhear the conversation and that is perfectly legal but it was still a private conversation.

Ask the Sherrif that arrested the Vitter operative.
