does any body know where i could find rules and regulations for a convention center security cameras, are they allowed to monitor them and use the footage to reprimand employees for actions,are they allowed to record you at any time without having to post signage that the place is under 24 hour surveillance,can they use cameras or recorded footage that is funded by homeland security to imply disciplinary actions on an employee? any rules and regulations and or similar cases would be grate full. thank you in advance for your time

There are no laws regarding the use of video for purposes of monitoring the public or employees. It can be used to discipline employees and it can be used in a court of law to prosecute someone.

What you can not do is record audio without some type of notification. There are very strict laws regarding audio and the people being recorded not knowing about it.

    You would have to check with ordinances in the town where the convention center is located.
    Generally, a property owner can have security cameras. Any part of the property can be put under surveillance. Scenes can be taped and preserved.

    The only restriction is that sound cannot be recorded without the permission of the persons being recorded.
