How to ensure your recordings are admissible in court?
It’s quite straightforward – just four key points:​
First, while many believe you must announce your intention to record,
this isn’t strictly necessary in most cases.
You might playfully say
“I’m going to record you now!” to technically cover your bases,
but in reality, most secret recordings are actually admissible.
Second, your recording equipment must be legal.
There’s an important distinction: secretly recording is generally acceptable,
but using illegal surveillance equipment like hidden cameras in toilets invalidates your evidence.
Third, your recording cannot violate someone’s legitimate rights.
A classic example of what not to do: placing a recording device in a bedroom, which violates privacy rights.
Finally, your recordings must remain unedited and continuous.
Any evidence that has been spliced or manipulated will likely be rejected by the court.
Only recordings that meet these criteria
will be considered legitimate and admissible evidence in court proceedings.
