would you really take legal advice over the internet from someone with a name like "skydiverjerry" and whose credentials consists of his post count?

My advice is to do what your parents did; get a job, sir. The bums will always lose. Do you hear me, Lebowski?

In Florida it is illegal to audio-record a private conversation without the knowledge and consent of all the parties.

In Canada it is illegal if none of the parties know about it. It would be OK if you video yourself and the others. Laws vary from place to place, check with a lawyer.

Considering the amount of CCTV cameras around at Banks, liquor stores, etc... I reckon it is NOT illegal to video record on your own private property. However, I believe issues arise when you play it back, and to whom it is showed. Which will then determine whether it has any legal value or not, and whether it can be admissible in court in case of litigation.

1. He's not in Canada; he's in Florida. That's why I gave him a Florida-specific answer.

2. Re: check with a lawyer: he just did.

3. Non-expert reckoning really isn't good enough in this instance.

That being said, videotape surveillance on one's own property is generally permissible unless the subject has an expectation of privacy. Videotape surveillance in a public place is generally permissible. Replaying a surreptitious silent videotape anywhere is permissible as long as there is no sound and there's no expectation of privacy. There's generally no problem replaying it in court, as long as the judge considers it to be relevant and probative.
