Keisha Jones, the energetic news photographer for the Student
Times, has been busy at work. As part of her proposed “Day in the
Life of Jefferson High” photo essay, she’s snapped dozens of photos.
In which of the following situations, if any, could Keisha’s actions
have constituted an unwarranted invasion of privacy?
a. The school’s top counselor is known as the “Stealth Counselor”
because few students ever actually see him. Sneaking past his
secretary and down a hallway, Keisha was able to quietly open the
counselor’s closed door and, without being detected, snap a picture
of him working in front of his computer.
b. In the parking lot before school, Keisha snapped a photo of Roman
and Julie engaged in a “heated” public display of affection in front
of Roman’s car.
c. From the sidewalk in front of the school, Keisha happened to glance
into the faculty lounge window where she saw the vice principal
puffing away on a cigarette, a violation of the state’s “Smoke-Free
Schools” law. Though her camera was in her backpack, Keisha was
able to dig it out in time to click a clear photo of the administrator
taking one last puff.
d. All of the above.
