Blacked out at a private club last April. Found out that a bartender that was not on duty took pictures of me and sent to other patrons.
Hello ****, I'm sorry to hear about your situation. This could potentially be a violation of privacy laws.
- Can you let me know your location so I can provide more specific guidance?
I am located in Jeannette Pa
Hello ****, this situation might be a violation of Pennsylvania's Invasion of Privacy Law. If these actions caused harm, you might:
- File a complaint to the club management.
- Report to local law enforcement.
- Consult a lawyer for a potential civil lawsuit for invasion of privacy.
When I found out I approached her she was extremely nervous and said she took them to let the bar manager know and the head trustee. But the bartender who was on that night had already called both the manager and head trustee and there are cameras in the club so there was no reason for her to take photos on her phone yet alone to send to other patrons.
Hello ****,
Given this information, you may want to:
- Gather any evidence (like screenshots) of the photos being circulated.
- Speak with a lawyer about filing a civil lawsuit for invasion of privacy.
- If you feel comfortable, consider reporting this to local law enforcement.
thank you
