In need of Legal/Lawyer help in FL
If there is a lawyer on the forums in Florida, and can give me some information on hidden camera videotaping for home use, please PM me...
Thanks,
Nathan
EDIT: Inside and outside cameras. Outside for security, I know that one is ok. But my legal questions are for a nanny cam. Livingroom, kitchen, babies room.

you can't record anywhere a reasonable level of privacy is expected, like a bathroom, dressing room, etc.
Need specifics on exactly what you're talking about doing....but in general courts uphold the right to use vid surveillance, and it is used now days almost everywhere you go: stores, restaurants, homes.
I use a 4 cam system with dedicated dvr on my house.....and i get all sorts of $hit on tape.

He Must Be Trying To Bust His Wife With The Mail Man Deal
...so yeah, trying to get your wife or someone on tape inside your home in the bedroom would def be a problem. At best it would not be admissable and you might catch a charge for it as well. Taping some workers remodeling your kitchen, you suspect are stealing sandwiches would be fine.
