Hillsides that the defendant employer did not violate employee privacy rights by installing a hidden camera aimed at catching a person viewing online pornography in the workplace after business hours. The Court found that while employees have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the workplace, that right has limits and it does not prevent employers from conducting covert video surveillance in the workplace under certain limited circumstances.
