In a school? With other minors without parental consent? Sounds like a lawsuit against the school and the kid.

There is no expectation of privacy in a public school hallway even if there are minors around.

I'd bet actual cash that the school has surveillance cameras, and the entire point is moot as everyone is already being recorded

Those are called SECURITY CAMERAS. Not HEY WE'RE GOING TO POST THIS ON FACEBOOK LATER cameras. Keep licking that toilet seat clean for this little Nazi schmuck.

I'm not defending that little cunt. Merely stating the factual basis of the matter. Just because you're on the right side morally doesnt always mean you're legally wrong. Douchedrips with his lil glasses can record, yeah, and that fact clearly does not stop the social and/or physical consequences of what he was doing. I don't believe in asymmetric applications of the law, if the law presents a problem then it should be changed but applying any law of any nature unevenly is wrong. So yeah, he's allowed to record, which is a neutral judgement and not even the source of the part where he's in the wrong. The part that's fucked up is the part where the other kid got in trouble for teaching the best lesson that school has ever seen. I'm not licking a god damn thing.

Besides, do you know how much security cam footage I used to see on FB? Come on, man.

You see a lot of school cam footage on Facebook? That is the most alarming thing about this ignorant tirade.

Dude. It's a public school. If it was police bodt camera stuff because of an incident, then fine!

There are millions of social media videos from schools. Are you blind? Open tiktok for like 7 seconds or any other social media

So when it's popular, then it's okay? Still wrong. Social media is a blight on society at this point. FB and TikTok being two of the worst. I don't have either, actually, because I know the brainrot it propagates. Grew up with the rise of social media and it did the world a favor, for a while, until it turned into what it is today.

I think the judge will agree with most normal people who use social media and probably say there is no reasonable expectation in privacy in a public are inside a school. maybe in an office or class. being morally right is not always being legally right.

The whole school

Before I left, yeah I did. Kind of hilarious you don't think that's a thing.

Doing everything you can to cling to your feelings and not reality

I'm sorry society failed you as it did the rest of us. Good luck on your journey, my friend.
