No charges for
recording hot tub
BEND, Ore. (AP) — An
Oregon judge has ordered
a man who rents a house to
vacationers to either stop
recording a hot tub on the
property’s front porch or
put up a sign telling guests
they’re being recorded.
The case ended Monday
with no charges being filed
against the Sunriver resort
vacation rental owner, who
said in court he used the cam-
era for security reasons and
to see if employees, such as
housekeepers, showed up
when they were supposed to,
The Bend Bulletin reported.
The owner, 59-year-old
Kenneth Neish, later told the
newspaper he only wanted
to know if the hot tub was
left uncovered when chil-
dren were present and not
supervised.
“If I am told I am renting
to a family and then I see 25
kids bringing a keg into the
home, I need to protect my
property,” Neish said, calling
the camera practical.
The hidden door-bell cam-
era recorded video and audio.
By Jacqueline E. Mathews, Tribune News Service
It came to light after Neish
called police claiming to hear
vacationers talking about
LSD. Authorities found no
such evidence and no drugs,
but told the renters about the
camera. Those renters then
recalled getting in the tub
naked, and became worried
for their privacy.
“When we found out, our
world was rocked,” renter
John Hill said. “Who would
go to a vacation rental and be
audio and visual recorded?
We never expected that.”
Deschutes County District
Attorney John Hummel said
while the front porch area is
within the public domain, and
therefore there is not a rea-
sonable right to privacy, the
hot tub is a private space.
Hummel said he will not
be so lenient next time.
“If you don’t tell them
you are going to videotape
them and then you videotape
them, that’s a crime,” he said.
“Going forward, this home-
owner and others in similar
situations will be charged
with a crime.”

Sunriver Nature Center
sets up swan cam
BEND, Ore. (AP) — A
nature center in Central
Oregon has set up its first
wildlife camera near a swan’s
nest with two eggs that may
hatch before Fourth of July.
The Bend Bulletin reports
the Sunriver Nature Center
will be livestreaming the
nest on its Facebook page
for nature lovers interested in
watching the trumpeter swan
couple, Chuck and Gracie,
and their expected chicks.
According the report,
trumpeter swans nearly
became extinct in the early
1900s. Last year, two out
of four of the swans’ eggs
hatched.
The nature center bought
its first wildlife camera for
$7,000 with donations and
funding from the Oregon
Department of Fish and
Wildlife. Manager Jennifer
Curtis says the center may
also use the camera to capture
live shots of beavers, birds of
prey and other projects.
