Dashcams are legal in all 50 U.S. states, but specific regulations regarding their use and placement vary by state. These devices are commonly used by drivers and fleets to record video footage for safety, evidence, and training purposes. The main legal requirement for dashcams is that they must not obstruct the driver’s view. Most states have laws prohibiting objects from being placed on the windshield in a way that could interfere with visibility. To comply, dashcams should be mounted behind the rear-view mirror or on the dashboard.
Some states, such as California and Florida, require consent from all parties being recorded when it comes to audio recording. These are known as “two-party consent” states. If a dashcam captures conversations inside the vehicle, it’s important to inform passengers and get their permission to avoid legal issues.
