Security Camera at Work; Is it legal to film without consent?

It's legal to have a camera that you know about. They can make it a condition of your employment that you will be under surveillance camera.

But to have a secret or covert camera, that would require a court order. You can get such an order for a specified period of time if there has been an issue of probable theft or loss of stock. 'Enhansing security' is not a good enough reason, because if you wanted to do that of course you would let people know that there was an eye on them.

Well, I don't think they need your consent. The consent needs to be given by the owner, who needs to protect his property and investments. It would have been nice for them to tell you, but they need not your consent, as it is not your property. Think about big time buildings, do they have advertised or posted where every camera is and for you to sign a consent slip? No. Now, if it were in the bathroom you would have a case. As long as where the camera is does not violate your privacy (such as a changing room or restroom) there could be cameras all over.

The legal key in your argument is 'without consent'. As part of any urinalysis for non medical reasons, the forms you sign will given the the authority to observe the procedure. Court ordered procedures do not require that consent for observation because the court order overrides.

Yes it is legal. I bet they had a good laugh watching you looking for the camera, though.

Absolutely legal.

Yes, but they cannot have cameras in bathrooms or places like dressing rooms where people are changing their clothes.

Very legal and the more the better

Its legal

Yes they can. However, if random male employees are getting their kicks from observing you, that is wrong. You need to start complaining about that type of activity. It should be for security purposes only.
