Under the laws of all states in this country unless the location of a business is deemed off limits to the general public, there is nothing illegal for one competitor to go the the location of a similar business and videotape the shop and the employees so long no disturbance is made.
This is a free country and competition in the industry between rivals is good for the consumer.
