[Avodah] Recording people without their knowledge

[cantorwolberg at cox.net]

FYI recording people without their consent is illegal and one could be criminally charged for doing so.
This applies to audio recording. Video recording (without audio) is legal in most states.
Hence, dina dmalchusa dina.
As far as v'ahavta l'reyecha kamocha, I agree that would be another reason.
I doubt if the average person would appreciate being recorded without his or her knowledge.
Again, let it be clear, that recording people without their knowledge is ILLEGAL!
