No question the laws are selectively enforced.gsjackson wrote:Yes, but bear this in mind if you don't tell the woman about the taping. A friend of mine got 15 felony convictions (creating a nude image without permission, I believe was the charge) In Madison, Wisconsin for secretly making videos of sessions with a few girlfriends. It was strictly for his private consumption, but he got a new roommate who was snooping around, found the tapes and turned them over to the cops. Despite the fact that they were acquired as the result of an illegal theft of personal property, the tapes were allowed into evidence.
Fortunately, he got an older judge who was able to put this in perspective and declined to impose the multi-year jail sentence sought by the prosecution, the girlfriends, and the woman who did the presentence report and characterized him as a "serial seducer," which he wasn't. But he still has the felony convictions, and basically seems to have let the episode ruin his life.
