Can an officer record inside my home?

Yes. However, in locations where individuals may have a reasonable expectation of privacy (such as a residence), individuals may request that the officer refrain from recording them. Officers will evaluate each situation and, when an officer deems it appropriate, may honor the individual’s request.
