Weld County Invasion of Privacy for Sexual Gratification Definition
The Weld, Morgan, and Logan County, Colorado law definition of Invasion of Privacy for Sexual Gratification – C.R.S. 18-3-405.6 – is:
A locker room, along with a changing room and bathroom, would be considered places where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy. An interesting point with the locker room, though, is that if someone is walking around naked or partially clothed in front of others, including complete strangers, do they have an expectation of privacy? It’s understandable if someone is spying on someone in the restroom or changing room and the unclothed person has no idea someone else can see them. But, to say that a person who is choosing to walk around nude in front of others has an expectation of privacy is a stretch if you ask me.
