Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
What Law Enforcement Officer has to deal HIPA. Anything to do with a convict is public record. A felon losses and should not have confidential rights...
We have to deal with HIPAA all the time. Victims get injured and we can't get a doc to talk to us about their injuries due to their misunderstanding of HIPAA. Some charges are dependent upon the severity of the injury. I carry forms which specifically state the law and I fill out what I am asking for and how it isn't protected information under the law and still get pushback from the docs. In some cases, they won't even confirm if a victim is in their hospital.

Pants down on public property? Criminal violation, albeit minor, if you fail to cooperate, you will likely get your ride to the station and a summons and release. Yes, that will go on your record, so don't pull your pants down in public.Originally Posted by Melvin
On private property? Depends on what the relationship of the property owner is with local LE. Perhaps the local business has expressed permission and a desire that local LE monitor and protect the property from illegal usage, such as teenagers getting a quickie. See above.
Most cops do not have time to run around and get their jollies by intimidating teenagers. Some cops thrive on intimidating citizens. We call those "bad cops" and you should report their behavior to their superiors, elected officials and the news media.
I'm still not able to determine what was the relationship with the cop to the business owner who fired your friend. If they bowl together on the same league and the incident came up during a game, your friend is pretty much out of luck. If the business owner lived two jurisdictions away and the cop went out of his way to pass along the information, and your friend can prove all of that, he might get some attention to the matter.
Was the job really worth it to your friend? It sounds like your friend doesn't really respect his employer (and maybe he has a right to disrespect the employer). As it was pointed out above, the business owner didn't really need a reason to fire your friend. Is it possible there was another, unstated, reason your friend could have been fired?

The employer has violated Colorado law. Colorado provides that termination based on off duty conduct unrelated to the job is illegal.

CRS 24-34-402.5 (2004)
Makes it illegal for an employer to terminate an employee because that employee engaged in any lawful activity off the employer's premises during nonworking hours unless the restriction
1) relates to a bona fide occupational requirement or is reasonably and rationally related to the employment activities and responsibilities of a particular employee or a particular group of employees; or
2) is necessary to avoid, or avoid the appearance of, a conflict of interest with any of the employee's responsibilities to the employer.

Short answer: wrongful termination.
Long answer: for a job that an 18-year old would have, is it worth fighting?
Sign your ticket, tell the police officer to have a nice evening. If you think he was "intimidating" you, file a formal complaint and fight the ticket in court. Arguing with a police officer is quite pointless, similar to arguing with a lib-tard, won't achieve anything except get yourself in a deeper hole.

Re: LEOs and confidentiality question
Wrong. His employment was terminated 'at will' of his employer. No reason given, nor is there a requirement beyond you're fired. We are an 'at will' state. No reason need be given to quit or be terminated

Not necessarily true. If he terminated him without giving a reason, then you are correct. However, if he terminated him and told him it was due to his shennanigans while not at work, then he was wrongfully terminated. It may ssoind like splitting hairs, but there is an important legal issue in it.
