re: #16 Kosh’s Shadow
Unfortunately, the precedent is with ACORN.
ABC, iirc, lost a suit when they had someone in the meat cutting department of a supermarket record unsafe conditions and meat handling.
IIRC, they were doing more than just “recording unsafe conditions and meat handling”; this was a hatchet job (like the explosives Dateline planted in trucks they were claiming to be unsafe) deliberately pushed by the unions against the Food Lion chain, which was a non-union company.
Ah, just google “ABC vs. Food Lion”. Here’s a link.
