When you put security cameras in your business do you have to post to the public you have them?
I live in Iowa and didn’t know if there is a law saying that you had to put a sign or some up notifying the public that they were being taped. My place of business is a bar if that makes a difference at all.
No, business have been consistently upheld in cases of privacy suits by employers as to the right of the business to secretly record or videotape employees, in this case it’s probably a little more obvious that there is a camera (unless it’s hidden?) so the employer has an even greater right to freely videotape his premises without notice. In your case a bar is considered a very public venue, this means that the employers right is strengthened even more as only in cases where a “reasonable amount of privacy is naturally expected,” (for instance in a bathroom or in your bedroom), that privacy from any type of recording or notice of said recording is required.
P.S. Iowa law does not deal specifically with camera usage in a business (to clarify I included the employer/employee example first as it sets the legal precedent that implies that in a business the business has full right to videotape the premises assuming it is an area of reasonable publicity).
Yet another addition: There is no legal requirement under federal or Iowa law to post a sign with cctv recording, the answerer below might be confused with Great Britain law-Data Protection Act 1998- or other similar laws in European nations, but there is no such law in the U.S. or Iowa.
Should Public Security Cameras Record?
