So does this mean that if you taped someone stuffing a ballot box, you

would be breaking Arkansas law by taping them?

"State law makes it a felony to use any camera or "image recording device" to secretly view or videotape a person in any place "where that person is in a private area out of public view, has a reasonable expectation of privacy, and has not consented to the observation." Ark. Code § 5-16-101."

1. yes

and most states have laws with similar wording.

2. I don't think so

A person stuffing a ballot box wouldn't have a "reasonable expectation of privacy"

3. looks like not if they are doing it in public view

4. but many voting places are actually on "private" property

depends if they mean bathroom private or property private

I think they mean both, especially the first one.
