Wiretapping and Eavesdropping

NH Wiretap Act
active

New Hampshire is an all-party consent state: it is a crime to intercept, record, disclose or use a telephone or in-person oral communication without the consent of every party, subject to narrow exceptions for carriers, emergency services and authorized law enforcement. The chapter also bans surreptitious interception devices, restricts cell site simulator tracking of phones without consent or a warrant, and sets the court-order process for government wiretaps.
