As it is not all states have laws against this kind of thing, and it's hard to bust anyone for anything but theft of electricity or damage to property (if they bolt the cameras in place, that is). It actually is hard to prove breaking and entering if you gave a neighbor a key, as many people do when they go on vacation. And video, without sound, is legal without knowledge or permission, to protect shop owners with surveillance cameras. And if you're unlucky enough to have this done by an apartment manager or landlord, they have legal access to the entire building. In fact, if you rent your home, the landlord is entitled to make any modifications he wants most of the time, including cameras, to his property. The woman in this movie felt justifiably violated and was treated poorly at almost every turn. I was shocked by her church preaching cart blanche 'forgiveness', but even more so by the police who showed up with a search warrant and then just took what they were handed. Do Louisiana police raid drug houses and just take what they're offered, ignoring the entire house? And why were they not more upset to learn that one of the naked bodies on the tapes belonged to a teenage girl? The fact of the matter is, this is a great movie because it is so realistic. In this case, the police were incompetent, and the victims felt the way almost anyone would. Of course a high school girl is going to worry first about what her friends will think! That's almost all of what high school girls worry about. And no woman is going to want to sleep in a bed she's been violated in, whether the cameras are gone or not. I'm just surprised any husband would be so understanding of his wife. If I can leave my curtains open and prosecute a peeping tom looking in the window, then it should be a much harsher sentence for someone who bypasses any measures I put up to keep myself hidden.
