All I did was watch the video. But I guess that is above your paygrade?

“Covertly recording and releasing someone’s private texts sounds very illegal”

It is his responsibility to create his own privacy, not the public’s to look away. Matt was careless if this report is true.

Whoever had that seat behind him in First Class should be identified commensurate with his identification.

How does this NOT land the perp immediately in jail for a federal felony?

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

Shame this airplane snitch that violated this guy’s privacy.

Congressmen are stupid with security.

.....or a smartphone?.............

[Red Badger]

The Left is expert at being assholes....................

[Red Badger]

He’s a private citizen now, not a Congresscritter. He was mine. The perp was a woman in the seat behind him.

I don’t know if this is illegal or not but it should be and severely punished.

I bet she wouldn’t like all her texts and emails made public........But I bet they soon will be now that she’s been doxxed..........

KARMA................

A smartphone would be noticeable wouldn’t it? By the way it’s held.

[Red Badger]

I don’t know if it’s even illegal..............But it should be.......

[Red Badger]

He’s a Private Citizen now, not in the government.................

[Red Badger]

And nobody would notice because it’s ubiquitous nowadays..............

[CodeToad]

Telecommunications violation if wiretapping.

[Jumper]

Opps, I confused him with SecDef. Thanx, I was definitely wondering how it could have been so prevalent in this administration.

I may leave my wallet on the table while I eat at McDonalds downtown. Not smart. But if a criminal grabs it and runs off - is there no crime involved?

Bad analogy. If you leave your wallet on the table and someone memorializes it with a video, there is no crime.

[PGR88]

The perp has broken several laws, particularly because it occurred on an airplane - which involves the Federal Government. Yes, Goetz is a public figure, but that doesn’t mean he has zero expectation of privacy.

Trying looking up

The Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) or Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA).

ECPA violations carry fines and up to 7 years in prison; CFAA penalties include fines and imprisonment based on severity.

Yes, Goetz is a public figure, but that doesn’t mean he has zero expectation of privacy.

Gaetz has privacy rights at home and in public restrooms.
