If a cop pulls you over...

Very true, "probably cause" it's incredibly vague however.

I can only assume you mean "probable cause." No, it's not vague. Not at all.

Being suspicious = probable cause.

There's a difference between a guess, hunch or "feeling," reasonable/articulable suspicion, and probable cause.

See if you can educate yourself on what the differences are.

Then keep feeding him, I say, because we all win!

Make sure to be familiar with your local laws. Recording audio without consent is generally a felony in NH.

So when you call a customer service number for a company and they say "your call may be recorded for training/quality assurance purposes" or whatever, it's illegal if you never gave consent?
How many people in NH have sued said firms based on this law? And why aren't the companies out of business yet?

I have a WiFi camera(both audio/video) in my driveway with no consent signs posted that records the driveway, mailbox and everything in between them(read: sidewalk). If I did this in NH, and someone passed by walking their dog or pushing their baby in a stroller, are you saying this would be illegal and they will easily win in court?

looks like according to that any kind of recording private is banned unless both parties consent. I'm not a lawyer but that's my interpretation.

I guess it comes down to the definition of consent. FCC seems to use verbal notification in place of consent.

but yes according to this: http://www.rcfp.org/taping/states/newhampshire.html

In addition, it is a violation of privacy to install or use any device for the purpose of observing, photographing, or recording in or outside any private place.

They held that a school was not a private place. I would assume a public road is also not a private place.

So if a burglar broke into someone's home in NH, he has a right to sue the homeowner if he's being recorded based on this law?

I already know the differences

Nope it's not.

I posted the exact law as written. Don't get all huffy with me.

then you fail at using that knowledge or are being obvious troll, again. I am guessing both.

Nope it's not.

I am a white 30 year old with a 4 door Nissan Altima with 2 child seats in it. They probably aren't tearing my car apart. If they did ask, I would first ask more information as to what/why they are wanting to search my car. I don't need all my stuff taken out and child seats removed just b/c he feels like wasting time looking for something. Most cops are reasonable, but I've met some real arrogant a-holes too. They think they are above the law.

By remaining on the line and/or not requesting that your call not be recorded, you are consenting in the eyes of the law. Silence can be (and often is) considered consent for legal purposes.

Technically, yes, that's illegal in a state that requires both parties to consent to monitoring. However, as a practical matter, unless you publish the video you're unlikely to be charged.

So if a burglar broke into someone's home in NH, he has a right to sue the homeowner if he's being recorded based on this law?

Generally if you're doing something illegal, you lose legal standing to make other complaints. In this case, the only reason the burglar would be being recorded is his own illegal actions and he'd lose every time as a result. Now, a guest in the house who didn't know about the recording equipment would be able to successfully sue, because the guest was there legally.
