Maryland visual surveillance and hidden camera crimes

These laws make it a crime to watch or record people without consent in retail dressing rooms and restrooms, to conduct surreptitious surveillance with prurient intent of people in private places or of their private areas, and to place a camera on residential property to secretly observe people inside a home. Each gives victims a civil claim. A 2025 amendment (ch. 153) extended 3-902 to camera surveillance of private areas regardless of location.
