Prying into private affairs or solitude in a way that is highly offensive to a reasonable person.
The invasion occurs in a place of reasonable expectation of privacy.
Examples: intercepting phone calls, peeping, taking photographs, and video recording the victim in his or her home without consent or knowledge.
Questions:
When is it Highly Offensive for a Security Officer to Record Using a BWC?
Would a Reasonable Person Deem that to be Highly Offensive?

Spoliation of Evidence can Force a Court to Shift a Legal Burden of Proof from Plaintiff to a Defendant Hospital to Show that Destroyed Video Evidence does not Preclude Plaintiff from Proving Their Case.
