Sanders v. American Broadcasting Companies, Inc., et al.

ABC reporter Lescht took an undercover job as a telepsychic with a marketing company, wearing a hidden camera and microphone that recorded two relatively private conversations she had with coworker Mark Sanders (plaintiff) in open office cubicles where other employees might overhear. Sanders sued ABC (defendants) for invasion of privacy by intrusion, the jury found for Sanders, and the court of appeal reversed, reasoning Sanders had no reasonable expectation of privacy because others could overhear his conversations.
