QUESTION
Is this legal for them to videotape on private property then posting to private Facebook page?
Asked on Apr 02nd, 2014 on Personal Injury - Idaho
More details to this question:
I just found out that a private member of our HOA tapes every meeting and never ask permission to do so. He then posts it to the association's unofficial Facebook page, which you have to be member of the association to go on, supposedly. I do not feel comfortable being taped in a private setting and never knew it went up on Facebook immediately after doing so. I think they would need my express written permission. Thank you.

A board meeting of HOA is not like tea in the garden. I would think the HOA meeting would be open to the public and not a private affair.

I would have to know the details but generally public meetings are public, recordable and publishable. It is best to assume everything is being recorded.

Sorry, the meeting are open to the membership and, thus posting to a HOA Facebook page for members only is permissible.

You are in a public meeting so permission is probably not required.

You are wrong. It is a public meeting and I am not aware of any prohibition against that. Now a courtroom is different and the judge can make the rules. I suppose the HOA could pass a rule that its meetings could not be video recorded. But apparently, your HOA has not passed such a rule.
