Florida is a two-party (all-party) consent state for audio recording. All parties to a private oral communication must consent. Video recording in public is legal. Violations are a third-degree felony under Florida Statute §934.03.
Florida Statute §934.03 makes it illegal to intercept oral, wire, or electronic communications without all parties' consent. This applies to phone calls, in-person conversations, and any private communication. Florida is one of the strictest states for audio recording — even recording your own phone call without the other party's knowledge is illegal. Public conversations where no expectation of privacy exists are not covered. Video recording in public spaces is legal under the First Amendment. Florida Statute §810.145 prohibits video voyeurism in private locations. Police body cameras are regulated under §943.1718. These state laws apply uniformly across Broward County with no additional local restrictions.
Illegal interception under §934.03 is a third-degree felony (up to 5 years prison, $5,000 fine). Civil damages of $100 per day for each day of violation or $1,000, whichever is higher. Video voyeurism is a first-degree misdemeanor.
