Florida takes allegations of video voyeurism seriously, conducting aggressive and thorough investigations. Sometimes, these overly aggressive investigations can result in innocent suspects being arrested.

Don’t Speak to the Authorities

You have a constitutional right to remain silent. Ask to speak to an attorney and to have one present before questioning. Do not offer up any information no matter how innocent.

Understand Your Charges

Video voyeurism charges are levied on those who are alleged to have videoed someone undressing, dressing, or exposing their body at a time and place where there was a reasonable expectation of privacy.

Video Voyeurism Crimes in Florida

Video Voyeurism: Under Florida Statute Sec. 810.145. This charge is levied when a person films another for the purposes of “entertainment, amusement, gratification, sexual arousal, profit, or for the purpose of abusing or degrading another’.
Video Voyeurism Dissemination: Allegations regarding the transfer, dissemination, transfer, or distribution of images or video taken of someone without their consent.
Commercial Video Voyeurism Dissemination: Same as video voyeurism dissemination but with the intent to sell and profit from such dissemination.

Brevard County, Florida Lawyer

Many of the clients that we represent for criminal charges in Brevard County have no prior criminal record. Certain professions require special state or federal certification such as doctors, lawyers, nurses, private and public school teachers, state and federal law enforcement officers and members of the military. Individuals in these professions face special challenges after an arrest and prosecution.

Even if the charges are ultimately dropped, those indirect consequences can have a huge impact on the individual's career and future employment opportunities. Similar problems impact individuals working as defense contractors or who are required to carry a firearm or use a concealed weapons permit for their employment.

Even high school and college students can face serious immediate consequences to their education after an arrest or criminal accusation. Our criminal defense attorneys work with these individuals to minimize both the direct and indirect consequences of an arrest and prosecution. We work with clients throughout Palm Bay, Rockledge, Titusville, Cocoa, West Melbourne, Indian Harbour Beach, and nearby areas.

The Florida criminal defense team at Germain Legal will zealously fight for their clients. We take an aggressive approach coupled with a meticulous attention to detail. We believe that by filing and litigating all viable motions we can often negotiate a better resolutions to the case or force the prosecutor to drop the charges. Florida law provides for important protections by filing motions to exclude evidence, motions to suppress statements, and motions to dismiss criminal charges.
