[Leica] Well, this is a huge step backward!

if he has a decent lawyer this is an easy case.
none of his actions, in the privacy of his home, meet the voyeurism
standard.
and taking pictures of people without their consent has been upheld three
times by the supreme court in DC.
putting them together is not permissible either nor is using the "video"
law.
there was no commercial purpose.
wholly private activity.

if he doesn't have a decent lawyer he is doomed as he will be steamrolled.

this is the D.A. - http://www.jpda.us/da_office/da_bio.shtml

it's a step backward only if photographers' rights groups and associations
sit on their hands and allow this to happen.
