Unfortunately, due to the way that laws are written and interpreted, it's virtually impossible to ever get a clear answer. Which is why lawyers say that it depends so often as it does. It's a bit of a scam that it's effectively impossible to ever know your legal rights without being an attorney and even then, it often has to go to court in order to get a final ruling. In order to know whether something is legal or not, you'd have to not just look up the law, but also the precedences that apply to it and the direction in which the courts are moving in that region. Fortunately, in most common situations things are pretty well established, but when they aren't, that's not likely to get you off.
