Eh, that was just a distraction to keep people from talking about the ludicrous amount of child pornography his son had (and is currently on trial for)

The defense attorney said the cases involve "many thorny legal issues" and one question in particular: "May a homeowner install a camera in his home without telling housekeepers or guests, or does the guest have a greater legal right than the homeowner?"

How the hell is this a thorny legal issue? It should not be a question at all.

[-] nickiwest@lemmy.world 15 points 22 hours ago

It's one thing to have a doorbell camera or a security camera inside that films your front door and foyer or living room. It's another thing entirely to have a hidden camera in the bathroom.

[-] the_wonderfool@piefed.social 5 points 20 hours ago

Yes, and even then it's basic courtesy to warn your guests, and it should be illegal to not notify your tenants/homekeepers of the camera (at least in my country it is, and it's illegal to install them in any living quarters - including the bathroom -)

[-] EmptyAsparagus@piefed.social 3 points 18 hours ago

its not illegal right now to hide cameras in other peoples living spaces, if you own the place? what?

[-] the_wonderfool@piefed.social 1 points 17 hours ago

A cursory search on the internet came up with an: "in the US, it depends on the state, provided that you are not recording anyone naked" (so in general no cameras in bedrooms, changing rooms and bathrooms - in other places the legislation is much more obscure, depending on the state).

Another thorny legal issue for republicans:

Do the "human rights" of black slaves trump the property rights of their owners? And how are you supposed to protect your economic rights other than by beating the shit out of them?

Do the "privacy rights" of guests and tenants trump the property rights of their landlords? And how are you supposed to protect your economic rights other than by recording their every move on your property?

It's basically the same fucking question. And it's such a thorny and contentious one finding a balance must be hard.

Because in a sane society, basic human rights clearly do not have precedence over any other rights, right?

[-] EmptyAsparagus@piefed.social 2 points 18 hours ago

they've left the material realm at this point

[-] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 day ago

Alr remind me to never go to a bucees

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 1 day ago

OF course its a distraction, im not surprised.

He was also a big Abbott supporter and donor. I personally never, ever stop at Buc-ee's because I try my best to vote with my dollars.

[-] plateee@piefed.social 10 points 1 day ago

I got violently ill from their nuts on an 8 hour road trip. Then my wife got equally violently ill when she ate the nuts when we got home (I thought I just had a bug).

Their restrooms are fine, but I won't go there for anything else.

[-] Stormy@thelemmy.club 1 points 1 day ago

most gas stations bathrooms are fine.

[-] kestrel7_7@lemmy.world 3 points 19 hours ago

Insane take. You simply haven’t been to most gas stations bathrooms if you think this. I used to drive across north America semi-regularly for work and every region is equally bad at this

[-] AmyAye@nord.pub 2 points 18 hours ago

I mean, maybe OP runs a bathroom cleaning service for gas station bathrooms.

Probably not, but maybe.

[-] Stormy@thelemmy.club 1 points 18 hours ago

You have a very low threshold for insane. I've driven all over the country too. The gross ones are rare.

I'm a lady using the ladies room though, that might be why we're not seeing eye to eye.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 17 hours ago

dude i've been a janitor. y'all refuse to sit down, even with a seat sheet, so y'all hover. don't try to pretend your bathrooms are clean.

[-] Stormy@thelemmy.club -2 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

So tired of this loser bullshit. I'll block you.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

"wah they called out my bullshit accurately" go for it

[-] plateee@piefed.social 13 points 1 day ago

Eeeh, there's some pretty shitty ones when you get out of cities/coasts.

[-] Stormy@thelemmy.club -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Buccees has literally nothing special in that department.

[-] Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 day ago

Idk Bucees and QuikTrip are pretty good about being clean.

[-] plateee@piefed.social 1 points 1 day ago

Wally's is also really good.

[-] protist@retrofed.com 5 points 1 day ago

Most is not accurate. I've been in some godawful, disgusting gas station bathrooms across the southern US. I would still choose that disgusting bathroom over Buc-ee's

[-] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today -1 points 1 day ago

gas station food= severe if not dangerous food poisoning/parasites.

[-] Coupable@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

You realise that isn't an issue in other developed countries?

At this point I think it's safe to assume all republicans are protecting pedos or are pedos themselves.
