Cameras Located Within Agency and Provider Incall Spaces

[MB_]

Criminal Code: Voyeurism (s. 162)
Section 162(1) of the Canadian Criminal Code makes it a criminal offence to surreptitiously record someone:

who is nude or engaging in explicit sexual activity,

and in circumstances that give rise to a reasonable expectation of privacy,

for a sexual purpose

Under BC’s Intimate Images Protection Act, an “intimate image” includes any photo or video depicting nudity or sexual activity in a context with a reasonable expectation of privacy
Sharing such images without consent is illegal, even if you took them in a private setting with consent for the act itself (if it is being viewed or livestreamed to the agency or provider, or even if it the video is being temporarily stored on the device or cloud it is being "shared")

⚖️ Supreme Court & Consent
The Supreme Court of Canada in R v Jarvis (2019) confirmed that you can have a reasonable expectation of privacy even in non-traditional spaces (e.g., workplace cubicles), and consent to share something does not imply consent to record it its video or audio

Additionally, legal opinions and case law show that not telling a partner you're recording, even a private sexual act, means they did not consent to the recording, which can invalidate consent altogether .
So if they do not ask for consent to be recording it is illegal

Bottom line: A Ring camera capturing nudity or the sound of intimacy in a private space without explicit consent is illegal in BC under both Criminal Code and provincial intimate image laws. Recording general outdoor video/audio is typically allowed with one-party consent—just don’t violate privacy expectations.

So essentially,
If the agency or provider does not give prior warning to the client and does not obtain explicit consent for filming with cameras inside the incall were nudity and sexual activity is occurring, it is considered illegal.

Yep, pretty much what everyone has been saying in this thread and others threads this whole time, someone just actually provided citations haha
