The Number Nine Weirdest Story I have read on Cosmic Debris...
(From the Summer of 2003)
A man arrested on charges of videoing couples having sex in a Connecticut park claims he had the right to film because he was in a public place. According to court papers, Robert Berwick has pleaded not guilty to breach of peace and voyeurism charges for allegedly secretly videoing people in Bruce Park, Stamford, and in other areas of the town.
Prosecutors say visitors to a public park can expect some privacy, if their acts are not in plain view, but the lawyer representing Berwick said a park is different from a home or a locker room, which are private. A Superior Court judge has ruled that both sides can debate state law at a hearing on October 15.
Court papers said two women reported last October that Berwick was pointing a video camera at them. He was arrested and charged with a breach of peace, criminal trespass and interfering with police.
