Privacy laws in my "office" in Fl?
Okay for starters I share an office space with 5 other people as it's a 24 hour operation. 2 days a week I work 8 hrs in there straight by myself. The other 3 another person works with me in which I'm allowed to leave the area at times. I've heard my work plans to place a hidden camera inside an alarm clock in this area. Do I have any right to privacy in this office area even though it's a shared space? Do they have to at least tell us they have cctv in the area? Is there anything in Fl law that would help me in this situation?

You don't have any right to privacy as it is not your space. You just work there. That means, outside of areas such as the restrooms, your employer can keep an eye on you in whatever way they choose. The fact that it is a shared space is not relevant, although it does indicate that you have less expectation of privacy, as you don't even have exclusive control over your work area.

Nope, their space, they can do what they want. The only places a camera is illegal in the workplace are restrooms and private offices. Shared spaces are never to be considered private and I'd always assume you're on camera regardless.
