I have bad news for you. This exact topic has been discussed on my local radio station (in a medium sized city) and loads of callers described working at a photo lab where there was a drawer full of copies of "noteworthy" photos.

I think it's apples and oranges though. With a photo lab the customer has deliberately handed over whatever images they want developed, whether the images are private or not. Tesla employees sharing images from cameras that some people may have plausibly not even known were there feels like much more of a violation.

Hidden surveillance of the unsuspecting in restrooms, bathrooms, and bedrooms -anywhere where people can expect to have privacy- should of course be illegal. Nannycams in living rooms and other "public" rooms in private homes probably should be legal for obvious reasons.

"I have bad news for you."

Yes, secret cameras can get the host in trouble, but poke around at airbnb listings and you'll see cases where everyone reports highly visible internal cameras.

I'm not saying its good.
