Husband's Hidden Camera Taping Illegal

A woman, secretly videotaped in her own bedroom by her husband, will keep a $22,500 court judgment. That ruling Friday from the Iowa Supreme Court as it upheld a lower court decision.

In the Dubuque County, Iowa case, Cathy Tigges claimed her husband hid cameras in their bedroom and videotaped her activities. During divorce proceedings she argued the videotaping by Jeffrey Tigges was an invasion of privacy.

The Iowa Court of Appeals rejected Jeffrey Tigges' argument, her husband, that his wife had no reasonable expectation of privacy in their home. In its ruling, the Iowa Supreme Court said Cathy Tigges had a "reasonable expectation of privacy" in her bedroom and that her husband's covert videotaping violated her privacy.
