Did you find one, or should I ask him his advice?

Too late in so far as I bought one off Amazon, but not too late in so far as it proved that the principle is excellent, but the actual quality of the one I got was not as good as I'd like.

If you wouldn't mind, I'd be grateful if you could get an opinion from him for a good quality spycam baseball cap, budget up to say $300. [One I bought cost about $65]

Thanks

Sure thing.

I'll ping my cousin an email tomorrow and ask.

The "no expectation of privacy" clause is a US court decision. Definitely doesn't apply to other countries, which is why on Google Earth many addresses are blurred, especially in Europe

As far as cameras go, I just keep my Samsung Note 4 in my front pocket or rear pocket, camera facing out. Far less conspicuous and if for some reason there becomes a legality issue, accidental activation is far easier to justify (butt-dialed the camera) than wearing a purpose-built hidden camera.
