You have no reasonable right to privacy in a public setting in most states and schools are considered public locations. There is usually paperwork at the beginning of school that a parent signs that says something along those lines. Now when it comes to minor filming another minor, that adds another whole layer to it. But what could happen is someone could go on insta and request a takedown of the video if they felt they were filmed inappropriately. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 14 points 6 months ago Schools aren't full public settings, but limited public forums. First and Fourth Amendment protections are much lower, for example. And, yes, student expectations of privacy are lower, but a lot of things (like filming other students) are restricted for safety and to avoid "substantial disruption" of the learning environment. It isn't legally justified by them being minors. Filming minors in public is generally legal. This kid would be in trouble for violating school rules around filming (or laws against stalking or something, but that doesn't apply here). Legally, however, it could be argued that if his IG or tiktok or whatever is monetized, he's filming for commerical purposes, which would require permits/releases, but that's not what they're focusing on here, either. And that's not getting into potential FERPA violations and the like. Anyway, schools are an odd space, legally. permalink fedilink source parent [–] klugerama@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago On Tuesday – after the district’s four-day weekend – school officials spoke with Spud and gave him a one-day in-school suspension (ISS) for video recording in the school. permalink fedilink source parent [–] nwtreeoctopus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 months ago Are there laws about needing consent to film minors? permalink fedilink source parent
