    Default Can a Store Install Surveillance Cameras That Record Audio

    My question involves business law in the state of: MICHIGAN

    I own a business "Pizza Shop" I know it is "legal" for me to install a video camera, my question is, is it legal for me to install an "AUDIO/VIDEO" camera, only stationed at the cash register, my Attorney says yes as long as I post a sign or sticker at the front door coming into the shop stating
    that I have an "Audio/Video" surveillance system on the premises, but I just want to be absolutely clear I am in within the law

    Also do I have to notify my employees & if so do I have to have them sign something stating they know & have knowledge of the "Audio/Video" camera

    Default Re: Installing "Audio/Video" Camera

    this site:

    http://www.rcfp.org/reporters-record...guide/michigan

    gives a pretty good synopsis of the recording laws.


    You will have to notify ANYBODY that may be recorded without their knowledge, including employees. You are a third party in the situation you describe so they all have to be given notice.


    and your sticker better be very obvious. The intent of a notice is that people actually are given notice. If you put a little sticker on the door and claim that as your defense, you are likely to lose.


    btw: if I saw such a sign on a pizza shop when I went to enter, care to guess where I would not be eating? I would refuse to enter a business that did this.
