The Question
Is it ALL GOOD because the students signed documents and knew that their laptops were school property?

The Question
Is it ALL GOOD because the students signed documents and knew that their laptops were school property?
Is it ALL BAD (and creepy) because no one would reasonably have expected the school to be taking photos of them in their rooms under any circumstances?

Privacy implies that something private has been invaded. You can’t claim that something you do in public is private. Thus, this picture is not an invasion of privacy.

The LawThree Causes of Action:
[2] Interception of Communication(a) A person willingly uses the contents of a communication(b) The person has reason to know the communication is intercepted
The word “use” does NOT require that the information is used in part of an elaborate plan. “Use” in this context just means: personal use, such as viewing information or disseminating information.

The LawThree Causes of Action:
[2] Interception of Communication(a) A person willingly uses the contents of a communication(b) The person has reason to know the communication is intercepted
The person must have reason to know the communication was intercepted. If the person has no reason to believe that the communication was intercepted, then s/he is not liable under the law.
Hmm, that e-mail I just got seems fishy. I’ll bet it was
intercepted and then forwarded to me.

IMPORTANT!A person who gives actual consent to a communication being intercepted CANNOT claim that they were the victim of an intercepted communication.
Thus, one argument for the defense is that the STUDENTS consented to being tracked.
