I would think that even public bathrooms are considered private in terms of the law concerning video and audio.

I won a race to 7 one time with a girl I was seeing and the terms of the wager was if I won we had to go at it in the bathroom of the pool room. It was at the Brass Rail in Athens and we got caught by one of the staff members, but it was good times, good times.

At the time I was a hot commodity in the party and club scene and was getting laid at a torrid pace (2-3 girls a week). I now have quite a collection of "amateur" films starring me with several co-stars.
Ummmm......no comment. LOL

I was told that Planet 9-Ball had a security camera system that recorded every crook and nanny of the entire 15,000 square feet (except the restrooms). You could watch six cameras at the same time and the owner was hooked up to watch it from the comfort of his home, when not on the premises.
I don't think that it included recording audio, however. Otherwise, I'd have been on youtube years ago (and more than once).... imo

Why not just post the name of the place? And if anyone else knows of any other places doing this--- post them too.

I'm pretty sure the conversations around the pooltable were being recorded at the Bada Bing...

I've got the dvd of this years world 14.1 tourny and Max takes a break in his match with Thorsten to go to the bathroom. He forgets he is still mic'd and talks to himself on the way and either runs the faucet or it sounds like he is taking a leak.LOL I was surprised they didn't edit it.Sorry,I'm a little off subject but its kinda funny.

They made tape recorders that SMALL back then?
I remember a cassette recorder I had as a kid around 1972 and it was still pretty dang big.
How could you fit such a beast under the dash?
Oh and to Corvette - let's see if you can post anything in this thread that doesn't boil down to "I GET LAID A LOT". :/
It is all in the intent
I cannot believe, you as a former room owner would be against audio, unless you think all pool room owners go home at night and try to hear everyones conversation being recorded on their security cameras. If my intent is to use audio to intercept, or use my audio as an investigative tool after a crime, so be it. I could care less what is being said in the pool room as it is none of my business unless crime is being discussed.
Do you think all the security cameras in casinos around the world don't have audio. First of all most would not pick up speciifc conversations unless the people were talking into it. It is way too noisy. An example would be The Action Report recording last night. You could hear Billy great cause he was miked, Jason not quite as good cause he wasn't and other people around, not at all.
Now in the quiet of the night that is a different story. A year or so ago I had a burglary, and on the tape you could hear the glass break far away upstairs and we got the burlars recorded including one of them using their names. See , so the intent of my security camers is not to spy or listen to customers but for security to solve a crime if possible or to have evidence of a conspiracy it is comes up.
And the cameras run all the time because there can be a lot of crime during business hours. Stealing beer, breaking into video games. One night a thief removed a change machine(wall mounted one) while we were open. Another time broke into a bar table.
So if the guy that started this thread feels intimidated, too bad. I guarantee we are not trying to listen to his conversations, nor are they probably being picked up. I only look and listen to my tapes when a fight happens, an assault or any crime. Otherwise they get erased every couple of days.
And you think I haven't caught employee thieves without them? And they know they are being recorded.

we are losing freedoms here in the land of the free daily, when i'm in germany next time i'll tell you more, i like germany as much as america. both countrys are great.
I dont want my conversations recorded unless I know they are being recorded then i might say something different, its possible to catch a beef over gambling if they record them, of course we talk openly about gambling here, it just dosent set right with me. legal or illegal i dont like it

The one I had I bought in NYC. It was about 8x5" I had it in an metal tissue despenser screwed under my dash. If a girl asked what it was I'd say it was a spark booster. They stayed away from it then. Oh...I really don't care if you don't believe me ScottW. Johnnyt
