This is a public service warning to all cellphone users and photographers and videorecorders living in or visiting Oregon: Get permission for the audio part!
| Oregon law allows audio material to be recorded only if one of the parties is aware the recording is taking place. Judge said Vang was recording video and audio using his cell phone camera. Only the audio recording violated Oregon law, she stressed. |
And failing (or opting not) to get permission for the audio, turn it off before shooting your video.
If you’re reading this from an Oregon prison cell due to your video indiscretions, be advised to read Ain’t Complicated daily.
I wish people had to ask permission to even have a cell conversation in public places. Oy, I dispise those who talk loudly, as if they were the only ones in the room!
