PA -- A Lawrence County Jail inmate who sued after a corrections officer videotaped him and posted the clip on YouTube saw his case dismissed this morning when a judge found that he had no privacy rights. Alvin George White Jr., 51, of Coal Township, whose lengthy criminal history includes convictions for theft, robbery, terroristic threats and drugs, had sought $1 million in a lawsuit he filed by himself last year. He said that in November 2010, a corrections officer at the jail fell asleep. Another officer, Larry McConohay, came in and began filming his sleeping colleague using a cell phone camera, and then turned the camera on Mr. White.
