@@SF2K01 Audio recording is incidental to the main purpose of a dashcam. A device that only records audio, especially if it's concealed is a completely different matter, and it's going to be awkward to explain the legitimate justification for it. And while some of the reasoning behind wiretapping laws is based on a reasonable expectation of privacy it's what the law actually says that matters, and what all of the laws say is that you need to be a party to the conversation to legally record it.

That was my experience when someone took stuff out of my garage. Had face shots from the security videos and an address with witnesses that they never saw him with the stuff until after I had my stuff stolen. They wouldn't do anything about it. Turned in a tip that he was dealing out of the house and they showed up with a warrant a few hours later. They still didn't want to press charges for stilling my stuff until I handed them a notice of intent to suit the city for not doing anything. Then they took a prea bargin for probation and a fine when he grabbed enough stuff for a felony. And, they did find drugs in the house. They also accepted a plea deal for probation and a fine. I've completely lost faith in the local police and justice system at this point.

A couple years ago my wife was at a hospital while her mother passed away. While there she left her iPad at the hospital coffee shop. She went immediately back to retrieve it but it was gone. The ladies that worked at the coffee shop said they hadn’t seen it. Later that night I noticed some new videos showed up on our iCloud. Our devices were linked so I could see videos the thief took with my wife’s iPad. The thief took a selfy and it was one of the women that worked at the coffee shop in the hospital. Also we were able to determine the address where the device was through find my iPad. The next day I went to the hospital to report the iPad stolen. Showed the video to hospital security and told them it was there employee in the video. Long story short, nothing came of it. Hospital said they would investigate but never heard from them. When I returned home some more videos appeared. It was a couple days before Christmas and the women apparently gave the iPad to her 12-14 year old daughter. I then called Apple and they were able to deactivate the IPad. Lesson learned. Wife’s new iPad had the password activated. Also you can show the police who stole your stuff and where it is but that doesn’t mean you’ll get it back.

Hospital security may or may not be police officers. They likely have limited authority and training to handle situations like this. So, take the issue of the chain both inside and outside the hospital. Call and talk to hospital administrators. They should have a vested interest in not wanting thieves working in their facility. Call the local police or sheriff, real law enforcement officers. Work your way up their supervisors. Contact your local prosecutor or the county prosecutor.

I'm curious how one could get in trouble for wiretapping? If I put a recording device on my own property and someone then steals it, they've also stolen the recording device. I'm fairly certain you could argue in court that you didn't wiretap anyone as you installed the device before the theft and you can't wiretap yourself. If I'm wrong here then someone could steal your security camera right off your house and then claim you wiretapped them by recording them without permission? It's an absurd premise to me.

I think that it would HEAVILY vary state to state, but I would guess the premise of the rule would be to prevent setting bait traps to crimes unrelated to the theft, and that it is rather unnecessary to have a recording device for a location tracker if the express purpose is to locate your stuff.

@@joed9138 A great way to understand a law is to read it. 18 U.S. Code § 2511 is the law (in the USA) in this case and is easy to find online. Usually in order to record or monitor a conversation, one party must consent. So you can record a conversation you are a part of. (a call to a friend) But you can't put a secret recording devise in the friend's car and listen to him talk to others. Some US states require both or all to consent. Check your with a simple online search. It's important to remember this is a criminal statue. So in your example where some steals your camera and then claims to be wire tapped, they can't charge you with a crime, they must report it and Law Enforcement would have to press the charges. Extremely unlikely in a case where the device was stolen. The only way I can think of this happening is if your intension was to have the device stolen and then to record or listen into the conversation.

I track her footprints to his place, staying away from his property to cover my behind. Police do nothing but tell me to leave my neighbor alone or I can go to jail. 9 years later I am building a fortress around my front 2 acres. He has free access to my 15 acre wooded lot, taking trees at will. Cops are either too lazy or he has friends on the force. Sheriff and State Police share the same office so no help going higher.

First, I want to preface this with the fact that I understand that laws many times are anti-intuitive which is why the layman needs a lawyer in the first place, so I am not disputing what you are saying I just don't understand the logic of the law. I am confused about not being able to have a device hid on your own property that has the ability to record. I understand in a way how it breaks wire tapping laws but what I don't understand is how it does it when its hid on your own property. I mean it is not the victims fault that a crook decided to steal from them and it seems like the rightful owner of the propertie's rights to use their own property as they see fit would trump the crooks rights. Also what if the crook steals something that is built with recording devices built in such as a laptop etc... (does the fact that they have them built in imply that the crook should have assumed they had recording devices in them so the wiretap law wouldn't apply? If so then what happens if the crook steals the same laptop because it was say hidden inside of luggage - they then did not know they had something with recording capabilities so would that again open up the rightful owner to wiretap laws because of the crooks ignorance? Awesome work on your videos by the way and again I am not disputing what you are saying just don't understand but I know first hand from going to small claims court that laws many times are not always logical and many times are right backwards from the way the average person would think they would be.

At the 2AM incident I was armed until I saw the flashing lights through the window. I was not when I opened the door (I also have a locked glass storm door). The first and second visits I produced my wife at the front door (we all had a good laugh with the singing incident). The most recent time I just told the cop we didn’t make the call. We don’t even have a working land line. In all cases the cops were truly concerned. I could have slammed my door in their faces….or not opened it at all. At no time did they try to enter my house.

A video I can't find anywhere is "interaction with game wardens while hunting." Specifically waterfowl hunting, as it has many additional regulations. I thank the wardens because if populations weren't managed with tag limits there'd be nothing to hunt for the last few decades. However, when waterfowl hunting, wardens want to check that your ammo is all steel (no lead shot near water); they want to check the magazine has 2 rounds or less of capacity (often requiring a plug); and they want your ID, hunting license & bird stamp(s). Is camping near water probable cause to enter the tent and inspect that we're not hiding birds? As well as inspect everything we brought that's covered by the 2nd amendment? Do we really have to hand our weapons over as soon as the warden is in reach? I know people who have spent hours repacking their pickup (think Tetris in an 18ft over-cab camper filled to capacity with duck blinds, decoys, etc etc etc) after the wardens couldn't find anything to even write a warning. I feel like my choice to not feed my family hormone filled meat from other countries means that I don't have any more rights in the wilderness than I would in Mexico. Is the Clive Bundy story the only way to keep them from sifting through everything I own? I can't afford to purchase my rights back from a judge after the fact. Am I really this helpless from government in the wilderness? Your video would probably be specific to your state, but they're federal, and it's an answer I'd like to see. I don't think I'm alone.

Virginia is a one-party state: you can record whatever you want that you are a party to. If someone steals MY recording device, and I activate it, then I am a party to it. It's no different than someone stealing my phone and I call my phone's number. I am the informed party on the call, and that's all you need. That is also the federal law. Some Communist states like Maryland may have a different law, but since I was sitting in Virginia the whole time, not an issue. Going hunting for airtags or having your stolen laptop phone home with its GPS location are two other different things, but I can't see how that could be illegal either. If there is case law to the contrary of any of this, I would be interested to learn. Note that regarding the wiretapping: you can't bug third parties (even cops need a warrant) again unless you are a party. And you can't place bugs on other people's stuff. Your real problem is: What do you think you are going to do once you know where your stuff is? I suggest you bring a cop. Then you won't need a lawyer right away LOL.

What if they steal my iPhone and it records their conversation, including admission of a crime, and why is that different than any other stolen recording property?

The only issue with this is I have done the same thing but couldn't get the cops to prosecute the their for steeling $4000 of tools. They both said it wasnt their jurisdiction where stolen and recovered. Lazy bastards

You would think someone would look up what to do if the police confront them before stealing stuff repeatable.

I don't get why what amounts to "wiretapping yourself" should be illegal in the event of someone stealing the property.

If they steal my laptop, it's going to record them, track them, and make them very sorry if they ever try to sell it or access it. Just like what would happen if someone steals an I-phone. Also, anyone that defends a piece of garbage that steals something that someone else has worked for is also garbage.

I wonder. How that reach far tracker being attached to My Own Property would be legally different than if they stole my phone and I recorded them using GPS, video and Audio using the built in mechanisms of the device (without any outward signs of recording)? What if they stole something my phone happened to be in (like a car or a purse) and I recorded them with it?

I have an issue with the statement that a recording device would run afoul of the law. I don't believe that is true. The only law in VA that I think would apply would be Virginia Code § 19.2-62, which makes it a violation to "intentionally" intercept communications between two parties. If I have hidden a recorder on my property, that is legal. I have no specific intent to record any communications between anyone but myself while I am with the property or maybe the surroundings (assuming the device is kept in my house or garage etc). If someone steals it, and has a conversation...there is no way for me control that and I don't think the state would even prosecute me. But if they did, they would need to prove that I specifically intended to record that conversation between those specific individuals. I don't think they could just prove that simple knowledge that you have a recording device that "may" be stolen and "may" record a conversation between some other person(s) is enough to trigger the violation. I think that would be way too high a bar for anyone to pass. On another point, I have an issue with law enforcement asking the victim if he "wants to press charges". Isn't it up to the police to decide if a person committed a crime? And then they pass that to a prosecutor who then decides based on a number of factors (victim participation being one) whether to prosecute? I think it's absurd that you would ask the victim. He broke the laws of the state regardless of what the victim thinks. "miss, do you wish to press charges on your boyfriend who beat you?" "no?" "okay, well then we'll be on our way, have a good night..."

I would like to take exception to the notion that installing a microphone on YOUR OWN property could somehow violate anti-wiretapping laws. I understand the concept, and agree that installing it in the office, etc. would be illegal. However, in this case, one could say the microphone was for his own use, and the "wiretap" was inadvertent in that he never intended for it to be used in any other manner, and wouldn't have been, had the POS not stolen it. I think for a scumbag thief to twist the narrative that he's somehow a victim is the height of audacity.

Personally, what I think the thief should have done is not steal. Rules against compelled self-incrimination are in place to protect the innocent, not the guilty. A lot of people forget that. Here in the US, I support the Fifth Amendment because talking to police (for example) can lead to wrongful convictions.

Why would it matter if the audio wasn’t being used for anything? If the audio were posted online then it should be illegal.
