Jean v. Massachusetts State Police, 492 F.3d 24 (1st Cir. 2007) is a case concerning the legality of posting a video on the internet obtained by another source through illegal means, which in this case involve use of a nanny cam to record others.

The court's decision drew heavily off of previous court case Bartnicki v. Vopper. The court's decision held
