All Public areas there is freedom to take picutres, use
binoculars ect. If the College was a state college
on "public" property I would say yes. In public areas such
as streets and parks it is usual to see cameras. If on
private priperty it would still be legal. Manny stores have
cameras watching customers with out their expressed or
implied consent. Also with banks there are many cameras
there. The weight room was public area just as a bank
lobby. There was no "reasonable expectation" of privacy
here as with a dress room, or shower room.
