Default Is it legal to drive through Burger King drive-thru with safetylights installed in/on your car???

The Burger King sign says "no videorecording or *photography allowed".

It doesn't say yo cn't have a camera or camcorder. It says you cannot
take photographs or video recording. What's your problem?
Either don't go to Burger King r if you go follow their rules.


Having safety lights that transmit pictures is photography, as far as
Burger King is concerned.

I already had a BK manager tell me to get rid of my "camera" that I
was NOT taking any pictures with inside since "cameras aren't allowed
and are illegal inside here".

The reason I didn't take any pictures wth that "camera" was because it
was NOT a "camera", but WAS a radio and tv set.

Lots of people take their radios into Burger King and listen to them
with headphones out.

The idiot manager thought that my radio was a camera. And he wasn't a
young kid either. he was a middle aged man.

I don't go there much anymore anyways, but it does have serious legal
implications.

Suppose I'm on the public street and happen to get in a car accident
that's not my fault, but is completely the othe guy's fault and his
car makes
mine end up in Burger King's parking lot.

I can now be charged with illegallyy violating Burger Kings rules "no
photograpgy allowed".

Even though I never intended to be at Burger King.

Since "evidence obtained illegally" is not permitted to be used as
evidence in court, I would then now be unable to use the pictures from
the safety lights
that would prove the accident was not my fault while I'm n court.

While I would be able to legally use thiose same safety light pictures
as evidence in court as long as my car happened to spin and land
somewhere off of
Burger King property.

But if my car spins and happens to land on Burger King property, that
same legal evidence is now illegal evidence.

Also, some Burger Kings also have the "no videorecording or
photography allowed" signs posted on their drive through windows where
you pick up your food.

If that rule was just meant for the inside of the building, why is it
posted where the drive through customers see it?

And if it's meant to address just the employees, why is it positioned
so that the drive throughcustomers see it?

It seems the only reason to have it there is if the rule was meant for
the whole premises, both inside and outside the building.

Also futher legal implications:

I don't know why BK has that rule, but if it's because you don't want
your employees photographed, get this:

A car with safety lights installed does NOT even have to be on BK at
all to photograph your employees.

A car with safety lights installed can be completely on the city-owned
public streets and as long as your employees are in sight of whatever
the
safety lights see, the safety lights WILL transmit live motion
pictures of your employees.

And other people can then videorecord your employess from their own
home by recording those safety ligt transmissions.

Once a viideorecording is made, it's a simple matter to make stills
from that video or even simpler, instead of bothering to make stills,
just put up
the video as you recorded in, in full glorious full motion video.

Since no one wa on BK property, and the videos of BK employees was not
inteninall made by the person with the safety lights, and thepeople at
home
recording were just recording tv signl they just happen to recieve,
and they were not recording any transmissions from BK cameras but
were
recording transmissions from the safety light cameras, and BK has no
authority over the person with the safety light cameras since they
were never
on BK property.

What can and can't be installe on cars is the business of whoever in
the state controls vehicle laws, NOT the business of Burger King.

And I very much doubt that any city,county, or state would even
consider, let alone passing a law that makes it against the law to
have SAFETY
LIGHTS that protects kids more installe on your vehicle.

And if some city, county, or state government was stupid enough to
actually pass a law making it against the law to have SAFETY LIGHTS
that protect kids moe installed on your vehicle, I think that city,
county, or state would find theirselves in a unch of political hot
water, a bunch of legal hot water, and
involved in a bunch of court cases.

As far as I can see, I have not found aanything in my local city,
county, or state laws yet that state having SAFETY LIGHTS installed on
your car is
against the law.

If they were, then why are the legal national chain stores allowed
to kegally sell them?

Along with other stores that are not national chain stores.

I'm not sure if the safety lights also transmit sound besides just
pictures or not, so maybe people watching the safety light
transmissions at home
might even be able to hear what your employees are saying in addition
to seeing them, while scanner listerners would be able to hear them in
such a case.

And all the while with both the car and safety lights never ever ever
bein on Burger King property at all.

So take that, Burger King.

hahahahahahahahahaha.
