[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For what it's worth, here is MCPS's policy on personal cell phones.  Might answer some questions.  Not even allowed to have the phone out for many levels. So it seems recording ANYTHING if the school has a no cell phone policy during lunch/outside class is already a violation.  That's why students get in trouble I imagine. What kind of trouble? Depends on what was recorded and the impact I imagine.
