Just had charges dismissed not that long ago in an effort against the notorious Fred Felps church. A meeting is not a place where an individual would reasonably expect privacy. Neither is a street nor even an open but private yard. In a recent case where a park attendent was photographing women in the bathrooms this one did apply. That is the intent of the law and any court is going to consider intent of the law first and foremost.
