If the team's signals could be filmed from the opposing team's sideline, they were there to be seen. There's only a marginal difference between (1) watching the other sideline to pick up signals and (2) filming it.
We don't know exactly what was going on, how or when they used the information. Its logical to assume that the Pats were getting some benefit from filming the signals or they wouldn't have taken the risk.
An investigation should have been done, and the truth exposed to the public.
Some have said that they just taped it to use later and that it offered not benefit to the game in progress, but that makes no sense. How would you explain them having it on the Packers sideline last year? They will not play the Packers again until 2010. What would they have been scouting? It OBVIOUSLY provided some type of benefit to them.
