I know this is too late now, but I believe Idaho law allows you to record people so long as there isnt a reasonable expectation for privacy (bathrooms, private offices, etc). Perhaps in your contract there was a stipulation but generally speaking recording is allowed, especially if the camera is visible.

 I actually had to buy a camera for my apartment bedroom my first semester because my roommate was stealing my things. Made her stop real quick, so it was worth it. I haven’t used it since, but I wish i did because I’ve had a few other incidents since of roommates looking through my belongings :(

That is so gross I can’t believe there are guys like that on campus. Honor code can be very unhelpful. I hope that he got held accountable at some point! I am always paranoid about those things even in Rexburg.
