Interception of Communications (Iowa wiretap act)

Iowa's wiretap act makes it a felony to willfully intercept wire, oral, or electronic communications, or to use or disclose unlawfully intercepted contents, and gives victims a civil damages claim. Interception is lawful when the interceptor is a party or one party consents, unless done to commit a crime or tort, and property owners may capture oral communications with consented surveillance systems for crime prevention.
