While for the most part, video surveillance is legal, there are some laws that you need to know about before you install your surveillance equipment. Typically, this is done to watch over businesses and homes to protect them from burglary and break ins. However, some people use hidden types of cameras to do their own private investigative work. Private Place Use Under the video surveillance laws, in some areas it is illegal to use or install unauthorized cameras in a private setting. The areas in which expressed permission must be obtained before you can videotape, photograph, observe, or listen to any conversation or event, include Utah, South Dakota, New Hampshire, Minnesota, Michigan, Maine, Kansas, Hawaii, Georgia, Delaware, California, Arkansas, and Alabama. It is also illegal to enter onto any premises, also known as trespassing, to record any doings or people. If you fail to obey these laws and take part in unauthorized recording, you could face felony prosecution and could be subjected to as many as two years in the penitentiary and a fine of as much as $2,000. Nudity In most all areas, it is illegal to video tape any area in which nudity, in full or in part, is the purpose of the recording. This means that it is illegal to place any form of video surveillance in a restroom or locker room of any area. Privacy Issues Provided that you are not invading the privacy of another person, you are typically allowed to video tape for many reasons. Privacy is expected where most normal people expect to find full privacy. This includes bedrooms, dressing rooms, changing rooms, locker rooms, bath rooms, and other generally private areas. Consent, except where specifically stated by the video surveillance laws, is not generally required, unlike with audio surveillance laws, in which both parties typically need to consent to the recording before it is legal and allowed.
