Laws Against Hidden Security Cameras

Our team of private investigators are former federal agents with the FBI, DEA, IRS, or Secret Service.

Laws regarding hidden surveillance vary, but generally, there's a "reasonable expectation of privacy". While video recording is usually legal, recording in private places like bathrooms is prohibited. Some states have stricter laws. California, for example, may consider video recording of any confidential communication illegal, even with consent. Georgia, on the other hand, allows video surveillance in both private and public settings, as long as the cameras are visible. Hidden cameras are typically not allowed in areas where people assume a heightened level of privacy, like bedrooms or changing rooms. Employers often make cameras highly visible. If you suspect illegal surveillance, a private investigator can help find and remove hidden devices.
