Privacy

I take photos of grave sites for others and one cemetery has prohibited photos being taken and says there are privacy laws regarding grave sites and will not allow photos w/o written permission from family members. Is there such a law prohibiting this? The cemetery is open to the public and not gated. I am involved in creating memorials for KIA's from Vietnam and the cemetery office prohibits these photos from being taken. Can they legally do this?

I feel as though my privacy disclosure act has been breeched by our credit union. I need to know what my legal rights are concerning this. Our personal information and copies of our loan payment documents were given to a person without our permission by the Credit Union manager. What are our rights under the law for this act?

I had a felony conviction in 2002 and told my employer about it when hired in 2004. In 2006 he 'GOOGLED' my name and found references about the felony investigation---not the outcome--online. He told me about it so I would be aware. He frequently referred to these internet entries over the next 18 months. I was terminated in November 2007. I received two employment offers over the next 6 weeks and after both talked to my prior supervisor, the offer was withdrawn, even though I disclosed my felony conviction on the application paperwork and was told there was no problem. I believe my privacy was violated when my supervisor first googled my name and maybe also if he suggested to potential employers that they google my name. Should I pursue an invasion of privacy lawsuit?

During an IRS examination; Is it legal for them to secretly record the conversation between the examiner and the taxpayer without advising the taxpayer? If different legality (US vs Iowa ) which would apply? Last but not least how far back can they go looking for small mistakes amounting to 2 to 300 dollars in deductions caused by incorrect listing where taxpayer failed to reduce deductions by 50% when occupying part of a duplex in 2004 not intentional fraud; as in falsely or failing to report -income- evasion etc?

I am a manager at a large retail company. In May I went on an fmla leave due to my alcoholism and sought help. Recently it has come to my knowledge that our HR manager told several other people the reason I was on medical leave. Is there a legal issue regarding the disclosure of this information by HR?
