Text: Defendant asserts the videotaping of his end of his telephone call to his father from the interrogation room violated the federal Constitution's Fourth Amendment, the California Constitution's right to privacy, and title III of the federal Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968. He may not rely on the latter two grounds, however, because he did not raise them at trial. ( People v. Combs (2004) 34 Cal.4th 821, 845, 22 Cal.Rptr.3d 61, 101 P.3d 1007.) In any event, the claim lacks merit. The trial court found that defendant had no reasonable expectation of privacy because he knew he was being videotaped when he made the call. Detective Reed's testimony that defendant noticed the videocamera provides substantial evidence to support this finding. Defendant also contends Lieutenant Biondi and Detective Reed violated the federal Constitution's Fourth Amendment, the California Constitution's right to privacy, and title III of the Federal Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 by audiotaping a conversation between his father and other family members, as well as a conversation between his father and Detective Reed. He may not raise this claim because he failed to raise it at trial. ( People v. Combs, supra, 34 Cal.4th at p. 845, 22 Cal.Rptr.3d 61, 101 P.3d 1007.) In any event, defendant's own privacy rights were not violated because he was not a participant in these conversations.
