You are assuming the coach knew there were cameras. Calling the incident “child porn” is an overreaction based on what has been disclosed.
Are you saying intent is required to trigger a child porn charge?

If the coach didn't know there were cameras, that suggests yet another problem. Is the school not obligated to post signs and make it loud and clear that there is surveillance?

Signs are not necessary in public areas where there is no expectation of privacy.

There is absolutely NO indication this was child pornography. The coach erred in not finding out where the locker room was located.

There were dressing in school hallway with doors and windows. And by dressing I mean taking off their clothes down to undergarments to put on the cheerleading competition uniforms. Please note some of the girls were wearing g-string style underwear. Please note also once they finished dressing a gentleman came out of one of the rooms and stated girls we have a locker room for you.
In other words, a relatively private area.

Expectation of privacy is not the same as expectation of surveillance being sign posted. In Belgium, for example, you have no expectation of privacy in public but it's still illegal to install surveillance without signposting it.

The OP and this site aren't in Belgium.

This is not Belgium.

Please stop diverting attention away from the thread’s original (and subsequent) concerns.

I've got a surprise for you. Belgian law cuts no ice in the US.

WHAT were they thinking to be wearing g-string style underwear to a cheerleading competition?

There were errors in judgment made by the coach. That appears to be it. A conversation with the coach and principal seems to be all that is required.

That's irrelevant. The point is that "expectation of privacy" says nothing about "expectation of signposting surveillance". That's worldwide.

While there may be no requirement to signpost surveillance in WV public schools, it is still not "expectation of privacy" that's at issue.

Please stop.
