re: Teacher who had phone stolen and nudes stolen may face criminal charges

I guess if we really wanted to split hairs, simply by carrying a smartphone into school could be construed as bringing in porn simply for the fact that it has internet access

I get it, and I don't have a fancy explanation, but I just think there's a clear distinction between taking her phone and going to PornHub, and taking her phone and finding nudes of herself on the camera roll.

I don't think there's a distinction other than one effects the teacher's future authority more than the other.

One is an act of God, the other is "negligence"

Trying to see naked dudes again, huh?

I think the offending item being data on a cell phone gives people trouble.

What if the scenario was: student steals teacher's purse, finds booze, gives booze to friends. I think most people would agree that the teacher has some responsibility to prevent someone from obtaining the booze and shouldn't have had it on her person at school.

Fwiw I don't think the teacher should get in trouble, but I understand the school's perspective.

What would make for a more interesting debate would be if the photos were saved to the cloud and the student used the phone to retrieve the photographs.

You have been arguing the exact opposite for 2 threads now. By your own logic, the fact that she didn't lock her cell phone (the door) she is responsible for allowing easy access to nudes and therefore shoulders some of the blame. I'm almost certain it'd be easier for me to see naked pee pees (tee hee)in a locker room than finding nudes on a phone.

Swiping a phone and looking at the camera roll is the digital equivalent of barging into a locker room uninvited.

Back atcha babe Now who gets to spank the kid?

I'm not asking if there should be. I'm asking if there is a law. The homeless guy example is breaking and entering. I'm asking if there is an actual law that exists against snooping when something is in a public space.

Not arguing anything. Merely asking.

Common sense and decency aside, I'm talking about the law here. Because if there is a law against "snooping", then she may even have ever a case against the school for wrongful termination. But I've never heard of anything that covers "privacy". If she isn't afforded the legal right of privacy while on public, then that changes the whole tune of the conversation compared to if she is.
