Are you allowed to secretly film yourself having sex with one

>>17566134
Oops just to clarify, I legitimately don't mean this in a perverted way. I just want a 24/7 security camera in my room and I don't want to inadvertently get in trouble

>secretly
No. They have to know that they're being recorded and obviously you have to give them a chance to say no.

Depends on the state.

As I see it everything is 'legal' as long as you aren't discover.

>>17566608
Given that OP hasn't mentioned where he lives, I gave general advice that errs on the side of caution.

it's not a crime if you're not caught
so don't get caught, fuckhead

This. It's never legal to record an interaction without ANY of the parties knowing. But in "one-party states", you can record as long as at least one party to the interaction knows and consents, and that party can be you (if you are in fact a party). In "two-party states", all parties to the interaction must know and consent.

Both implementations have advantages and disadvantages, but what OP wants to do would only be legal in one-party states.

I'm pretty sure having sex goes beyond 'a mere interaction' and would be considered a breach of privacy

PLOT TWIST:
what if op films a secret film having sex in his apartment and the girl ends up doing some illegal shit like beating herself up after he comes back out of the bathroom to wash his dick in the sink?

CAN OP NOW USE THIS IN COURT TO DEFEND HIS NEW CASE? FIND OUT NEXT TIME ON THE NEXT EPISODE OF THE NEXT SAGGIN' BALL Z!!!!!

>I just want a 24/7 security camera in my room
why?

>>17566949
24/7, think about it

>>17566949
twenty-four-seven

>>17566962
>>17566967
yeah, so? is OP trying to catch ghosts in his apartment? does he suspect his roommates of coming and rubbing their balls on his mouse? why does he need a security camera running constantly in his room?

>>17566134
No
A semi-famous person just got into deep shit for doing this in my country recently

Whether or not it's legal to record someone depends also on whether or not they have a reasonable expectation of privacy, and having sex in a private home is such a situation that recording it without their knowledge is a major violation of their privacy. Recording a phone conversation is different.

>(a)
Whoever, in the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States, has the intent to capture an image of a private area of an individual without their consent, and knowingly does so under circumstances in which the individual has a reasonable expectation of privacy, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

Of course it depends on the state, but
>in the state of New York, surreptitiously (without that person' consent & knowledge) recording another person engaged in sexual activity is a E felony. it is a serious crime. Section 250.45 of the New York Penal Law specifically provides that:
>A person is guilty of unlawful surveillance in the second degree when:
>For his or her own, or another individual's amusement, entertainment, profit, sexual arousal or gratification, or for the purpose of degrading or abusing a person, the actor intentionally uses or installs or permits the utilization or installation of an imaging device to surreptitiously view, broadcast, or record such person in an identifiable manner:

>(a) engaging in sexual conduct, as defined in subdivision ten of section 130.00 of this part;

>(b) in the same image with the sexual or intimate part of any other person; and

>(c) at a place and time when such person has a reasonable expectation of privacy...


Recently when filming people has become easier and easier and posting revenge porn online has become a problem etc, legislation is reacting to that.

You need to put one of these above the bed.

>Depends on the state
Phone conversations or recording people in public places yes.
However, having sex behind closed doors in a private home, or sitting on the toilet or being in a dressing room are situations where there's such an expectation of privacy and the individual's privacy and intimacy are breached so dramatically, it's different. I'd assume no, unless you find a lawyer confirming that yes in this state it's perfectly legal to record people having sex without their consent or knowledge

>>17566134
Obviously not
