Man Claims Right To Videotape Couples Having Sex In Park
Greenwich Man Pleads Not Guilty To Breach Of Peace, Voyeurism
STAMFORD, Conn. -- A Greenwich man who was arrested on charges that he videotaped couples having sex in a Greenwich park claims he has a right to videotape because he was in a public place.
Court papers said Robert Berwick has pleaded not guilty to breach of peace and voyeurism charges for allegedly secretly videotaping people in Bruce Park and other areas of town.
Prosecutors said even visitors to a public park can expect some privacy if their acts are not in plain view.
The lawyer who is representing Berwick said a park is different from a home or a locker room, which are private.
A Superior Court judge ruled Monday that both sides can debate state law at a hearing on Oct. 15.
Court papers said two women at Bruce Park reported last October that that Berwick was pointing a video camera at them. He was arrested and charged with breach of peace, criminal trespass and interfering with police.
