QUESTION
Partner placed hidden cameras in office without my knowledge. Options?
Asked on Sep 05th, 2012 on Business Law - California
More details to this question:
I'm in a 50/50 partnership for an LLC in California and my business partner placed hidden cameras in our office without my knowledge. We work in a professional office space where the only item of value is the computer at each workstation.
Being that one of these cameras was placed in my office (where I assumed I had privacy), I'm quite disturbed. In all other facets of the business, nothing has been withheld from the other partner, so this is very disconcerting.
To compound the problem, two key employees who made the discovery with me were visibly upset and stated how uncomfortable they were (if it matters, my partner and I are male and the other two employees female).
To make matters worse, the partner stopped participating in company matters several months ago, so there is quite a bit of friction between us for that. What options do I have?

Since your partner is not active in the business, the most obvious "option" is to remove the cameras after sweeping for them.
You will then need to sit down and have a come-to-Jesus meeting with your fellow LLC member (not "partner") about his future role in the business, his unilateral actions, etc. You may wish to be represented by counsel.
