Dash Cam Privacy: Recording Audio and Passengers
A dash cam that faces inward or records audio raises privacy questions worth understanding. This is general guidance; local rules vary and take precedence.
Audio is different
Recording conversations can be subject to consent laws that do not apply to video alone. If your camera captures audio, know whether one-party or all-party consent applies where you drive.
Interior cameras
Cabin-facing cameras record passengers, which is common for rideshare drivers but carries a duty to be transparent about the recording.
Be upfront
A visible notice that recording is in progress respects passengers and helps you stay within the rules, especially when audio is involved.
