A woman, in a secluded area of the beach
changed clothes after swimming. Without her
knowledge, she can be seen from an angle of
one of the cottages wherein one occupant
took a photo of her showing her private parts.
The person who who took the picture argued
that RA 9995 does not apply because she
unrobed in a public place. Is he correct?
What does “reasonable expectation
of privacy” mean?
