A: In Florida, the use of cameras in private living spaces, especially in areas where individuals have a reasonable expectation of privacy, is a sensitive legal issue. If a camera is placed in a shared living space, such as a room where you get dressed, this could potentially violate privacy laws.

The key factor here is the expectation of privacy. In areas like bedrooms or shared rooms where people change clothes, there is a high expectation of privacy. Installing a camera in such areas without the consent of everyone who uses the space could be considered an invasion of privacy.

It's important to address this situation promptly. You may want to start by discussing the issue with the person who installed the camera, expressing your concerns about privacy. If this does not resolve the issue, or if you feel uncomfortable doing so, seeking legal advice is a wise next step.

An attorney can provide guidance on the best course of action, which may include formal complaints or legal proceedings. They can also help you understand your rights and how to protect your privacy in shared living arrangements.
