Man Uses iPhone to See Thieves Robbing his House

Well that certainly makes sense, until you think about any situation like this and then you have to wonder why they cant make just a few simple ammendments.

There are no simple amendments, only greedy lawyers.

Because people tend to abuse certain amendments. If there is a slight window (amendment) in a law from which someone can scam or frame someone else, then the whole law is flawed.

Not really. Think about it. It is a crime to videotape or record someone without their knowledge. If someone invites me to their house, I don't expect them to videotape me without me knowing while I'm in the toilet for example. The law doesn't exclude videotaping thieves.

I don't think you should break into someone's house without the expectation that you might be getting videotaped. There should absolutely be no law against videotaping your personal house/property as a security measure. Should I really not be able to put cameras up in my house without signs in every room stating that videotaping is taking place?

This is in the same vein as robbers suing their victims after they hurt themselves while robbing the victim's house. How can that be supported?

How can that be supported?

Because the graduating class from Harvard Law School has to eat.
