New Jersey Wiretapping and Electronic Surveillance Control Act

New Jersey's wiretap law makes it a crime to intercept, disclose, or use wire, electronic, or oral communications without authorization and gives victims a civil damages claim. New Jersey is a one-party consent state: a private person may record a communication they are a party to, or where one party has consented, unless the purpose is criminal, tortious, or otherwise injurious. The Act also protects stored communications and limits provider disclosures of customer records, including device location, to law enforcement.
