I'll Be Watching You: Florida Stalking Laws, Voyeurism, Celebrity Cases & Legal Movie Review
Podcasts > The Attorney Patrick Smith Show
Saturday, June 27, 2026
On this episode of The Attorney Patrick Smith Show, host Attorney Patrick Smith delivers a deep dive into Florida’s stalking laws (Florida Statute 784.048), including cyberstalking, harassment, credible threats, and penalties ranging from misdemeanors to felonies. Learn how victims can seek protective injunctions and the critical Supreme Court ruling in Counterman v. Colorado that added a subjective “recklessness” standard to protect First Amendment rights while still addressing true threats.
Patrick also explores voyeurism (peeping Tom laws) under Florida Statutes 810.14 and 810.145, video voyeurism, and the state’s strict all-party consent rules for audio recordings (934.03). High-profile cases include the stalking murders of Rebecca Schaeffer and John Lennon, plus incidents involving Madonna, Taylor Swift, and Sandra Bullock.
Plus:
- Legal Movie Review: “How to Make a Killing” starring Glenn Powell — a dark comedy about inheritance, murder, and family dysfunction (solid 8.5/10 rating).
- Studio fun with Isaiah, Spike on the Mic, and special guest Brown (Spike’s daughter and law student).
- Listener call on trust/tax issues and a heartwarming email from Patrick’s high school teacher.
Whether you’re concerned about online harassment, privacy violations, or just love sharp legal analysis with humor, this episode delivers actionable insights and real-world stories.
