California Court of Appeal

In a juvenile delinquency petition under Welfare and Institutions Code section 602 alleging a minor engaged in an unauthorized invasion of privacy by means of a cell phone camera in violation of Penal Code section 647(j)(1), the court's finding true the allegation that minor violated section 647(j)(1) is affirmed where: 1) a student in a high school bathroom stall reasonably expects he will not be videoed and have that video disseminated on social media; and 2) minor's contention that section 647(j)(1) incorporates the tort elements of invasion of privacy is forfeited because his attorney took the exact opposite position in the juvenile court.
