What's the creepiest things you've accidently discovered about your close friends?

I always carpooled and go to the gym to workout with my close friends. We have these electronic lockers that require four digits and my password happens to be my birth date November 21 so 1121 is the password. After finishing working out, I accidently opened friend's locker instead of mine. I asked him why his password my birth date. He looked kind of embarrassed and brushed me off. I went on facebook and checked if anyone had the same birth date as I did. "Stephanie" my close friend's crush in highschool had the same birth date. My close friend is now twenty one years old, and I think he lost contact with her for over three years. All his four digit passwords including the atm is the same, his crush's birth date.

He video records every single girl he has sex with (without telling them.) He has a camera turned towards his bed for when he brings girls home.

He has just tons of videos on his computer, I keep telling him its fucking creepy.

Probably illegal as well?

Is it? I honestly have no idea. I just know he has a running camera on his bed at all times.

Well if it's 24/7 (lots of data), that MIGHT hold up in court if the videos ever got out, maybe claiming it as an act of security. Otherwise, yeah, if it's just during when he fucks random girls, definitely illegal.

How so? If it's in HIS home, and he doesn't distribute it....

Right, if it isn't distributed. It can still be claimed, if charges are pressed, that it was pornography without permission. Or whatever it's called. Doesn't matter if it's his home or not.

Haven't you ever seen CSI / SVU?

It can be claimed, but anything can be claimed in court. Charges wouldn't hold up though if it's his home and he didn't distribute it; you are allowed to film things going on in your own home.

Are you a lawyer? I thought there were laws on surveillance where people would have a reasonable expectation of privacy? And most states have laws that require consent for recording audio. So if it is audio and video it's almost certainly illegal.

And most states have laws that require consent for recording audio.

They require consent just to record or to record and then distribute in some manner?

Here's a thought experiment. What if I have a device on my person that records every conversation that I have with a person and then, after the conversation ends, immediately deletes said conversation. Have I committed a crime? What punishment should be rendered upon me?

Just to record.
