A police officer had no right to enter a condo rented to an Airbnb guest who found a video camera hidden in a clock pointed at the bed, an Ontario judge has ruled. The decision effectively ended the voyeurism prosecution of the Toronto condo owner, Michael Chow. After discovering the hidden camera, Wallenberg contacted Airbnb, which advised him to go to a hotel and call police. “In these circumstances, Mr. Chow had a subjective expectation of privacy in the apartment,” Bovard concluded. “Whatever rights Mr. Wallenberg had over the apartment, he could not waive Mr. Chow’s privacy rights in the apartment and its contents,” Bovard said.
