    Post Installing a Hidden Camera in Your Elderly Parent's Garage

    My question involves civil rights in the State of: Florida.

    Would placing a hidden camera in my elderly mothers garage violate the caregivers civil rights? I want to know who comes and goes.Is it legal?

    It's legal to record video in the garage, outside the house, and anywhere in the house except bedrooms and bathrooms and you cannot record audio without the consent of all parties.

    Here's a summary of Florida laws:

    Then unless you have the POA’s permission (and assuming the POA grants the family member the power to put in a camera) then you’d technically be committing a trespass by placing the camera and monitoring people from areas you don’t control or have right to be.
