cameras in restrooms
west virginia has recognized a claim for invasion of privacy. in Roach v. Harper, 143 W. Va. 869, a tenant alleged that her landlord installed a hearing device in her apartment and listened in on her private conversations. She brought a lawsuit against him for invasion of privacy. The court held that there was a right of action for recovery of damages for invasion of privacy.
is there any way to find out whether they are there? i would check and see if the store uses pictures/film from the cameras in the case against the fired employee. if not you could ask the store if that it true.
