Prof. McGeveran Interviewed by KARE 11 About Legality of Filming United Airlines Removal of Passenger
Professor William McGeveran, an expert on privacy and internet law, was interviewed on KARE 11 television about a provision of United Airlines’ policies that seems to forbid filming in the aircraft cabin—including the recent viral video of officers dragging a passenger from a plane. McGeveran explained that the policy was valid and could be enforced in other circumstances, but was very unlikely to result in action in this case. “Even if it did, people capturing the video would have strong public interest arguments in their favor,” said McGeveran.
