    Law regarding voice recording in the State of Nevada
    I arranged for my girlfriend to come over my house yesterday afternoon and my boyfriend placed a digital voice recorder in my home without my knowledge or consent. I do not have physical proof, I only have statements he quoted verbaitem from my conversation with my girlfriend, and when I asked why he hid a voice recorder in my house, he would not answer my question. I only want to know if this is legal in the state of Nevada, especially knowing that my "right about now, EX boyfriend" is a law enforcement Officer and abused his power to listen to my conversation with my friend while he was not present!

    Hello I:

    I'm certain it's NOT legal, but I cannot find out which particular federal law and/or state law he violated. Plus, without physical evidence, you're not going to get anywhere. So, if there's a bug in your house, you have to find it before you proceed. There are experts you can hire that'll do that for you.

    During my search, I came across this website. It addresses SOME of your concerns. "Can We Tape?"

    First he did not abuse his power as a police officer unless he placed it there as part of his duty, broke in perhaps, did a unauthorised search for police reasons.

    He did this off duty as a boyfriend ( if he did it at all) perhaps the girl friend told him you don't know for sure.

    If you think the house is bugged, you can get that checked by a professional.
