An employee of the college was responsible for collecting payments from faculty and students for parking lot passes each semester. The employee's work station is similar to a bank lobby or a fast food restaurant, where customers wanting parking lot passes come to the counter and purchase the passes either for cash or a credit card payment. The employee is relatively new and has been through the annual training that tells every employee that college facilities open to the public are usually subject to observation by hidden cameras. The college had installed the cameras so that if the financial area was robbed, the robber would be visible on the video. In this case, though, the video disclosed that the employee had been handing out parking passes to some people and putting the money in her pocket, not in the cash drawer. 

The employee was fired, and she responded that the video is inadmissible to prove her theft because she was not aware of the fact that she was on camera in her job. She threatened to sue for invasion of privacy, too. 

Which of the following is most correct?
