IANAL, but if you are recorded without consent, the video evidence may not be presentable in court. In CA, and about 15 other states, you need two-party consent

IANAL, but if you are recorded without consent, the video evidence may not be presentable in court. In CA, and about 15 other states, you need two-party consent for the evidence to be admissible. I remember talking about it to a former DA who told me this, so I believe them.
Of course, you can’t be expected to have privacy in places like public parks according to CA law, so I’m not sure where the law stands on that.
- awb 3y agoIANAL either but 2-party consent was apparently just struck down by the Supreme Court: > Ban on recording without consent is unconstitutional, US court rules https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36609560 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36609560
