It probably violates wiretap law to knowingly tape this guy, even on a stolen laptop.

  Massachusetts is, in fact, a two-party consent state. The stolen laptop thing might get you off the hook, but probably not without legal bills.

    I think it also only pertains to conversations, right? Even in a single-party consent state, you can't just record someone without their knowledge when they're just gettin' their dance on to some shitty music alone in their room.

      That's not this situation, though. The thief knowingly recorded himself.

    It seems like the two-party rule applies to video only if audio is captured.[1] [1]http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/massachusetts-recording-law http://www.citmedialaw.org/legal-guide/massachusetts-recordi...
