Hello, I have recently put a dashcam that records audio in my car and have been surprised to find out it might be illegal to record audio in my own car.
Would a very small sticker on the doors or side windows of my car stating that "This vehicle is equipped with an audio/video recording device, by approaching and/or entering this vehicle you consent to recording." be enough?
Would they even be necessary? I've been told that recording audio on private property is illegal, but yet according to information found here it is legal for me to record all the audio I want as long as it is on my property. https://www.rcfp.org/reporters-recording-guide/state-state-guide/florida
"All parties must consent to the recording or the disclosure of the contents of any wire, oral or electronic communication in Florida. Disclosing communications in violation of the state’s statute is prohibited. Both criminal and civil penalties exist for such infractions. The state’s video voyeurism law bans the secret recording underneath or through the clothing of individuals without their consent, or in areas where they have a reasonable expectation of privacy."
"All parties to any confidential communication must give permission to be recorded, according to Florida’s eavesdropping law. Fla. Stat. § 934.03(2)(d). Under the statute, consent is not required for the taping of an oral communication spoken by a person who does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy in that communication"
My property= property that is mine, I own.
Humans want to protect what they own, this is obvious.
Logically someone would be expected to set up recording devices to help monitor their property.
Obviously there is no "reasonable expectation of privacy" when you are on someone else's property.
Obviously there is no "reasonable expectation of privacy" if you are on the street (public property) and are loud enough to be heard inside of a running vehicle.
This is really confusing for me, can someone with legal experience help me here? I want to be able to legally...
Record audio/video in my own car without having to verbally ask permission from everyone in/around my car
Actually own the audio/video file made by my camera (be able to upload the video online)
Can this be accomplished with a warning sign/sticker on my car?
How small can the sign/sticker be? I don't want to ruin my car by having an annoying legal notice along the side.
