Laws of 13
states expressly prohibit the unauthorized installation or use of cameras in
private places. In Alabama, Arkansas, California, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii,
Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, South Dakota and Utah,
installation or use of any device for photographing, observing or overhearing
events or sounds in a private place without the permission of the people
photographed or observed is against the law.
Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, South
Dakota and Utah also prohibit trespassing on private property to conduct
surveillance of people there. In most of these states, unauthorized installation
or use of a hidden camera, or trespassing to install or use one, is a
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine. In Maine, the privacy violation is a felony.
In Michigan, unauthorized installation or use of a hidden camera is a felony,
punishable by a $2,000 fine and up to two years in prison.
Several states have laws prohibiting the use of hidden cameras in only certain
circumstances, such as in locker rooms or restrooms, or for the purpose of
viewing a person in a state of partial or full nudity.
