Security of Communications Act: Interception and Disclosure of Wire, Oral, or Electronic Communications (all-party consent)

Florida Wiretap Act
active

Florida is an all-party-consent state: intercepting or recording a wire, oral, or electronic communication is lawful only if all parties consent, unless a statutory exception applies (934.03(2)(d)). 'Oral communications' are protected only when the speaker reasonably expects not to be intercepted (934.02(2)). Exceptions allow children, and since 2024 their parents or guardians, to record abusers in defined circumstances, and let people protected by injunctions record violating communications.
