I wouldn't say anything However, Rivian owner is now aware of how those neighbors feel. They would def see a shift in my attitude towards them though. |

Are all of you mere children, who don’t remember Linda Tripp? Linda Tripp was indicted in Maryland for illegally recording a voice telephone conversation with Monica Lewinsky without Lewinsky’s consent. Tripp secretly taped conversations with Lewinsky after Lewinsky revealed a sexual relationship with President Bill Clinton. Tripp's actions were illegal because they violated Maryland's wiretapping laws. OP: your Rivian-owning friend is going to prison over what he did ! |

Telephone conversations are often legally different than a conversation that might incidentally get picked up in public. Look it up. |

I shake my head over people like this PP. Going to jail. Unless it's basement bro in the mood to incite. Whatever the case, intentionally recording a conversation on the telephone (legal in some states, illegal in others) is different than video taken in public where people can have no expectations of privacy--because they are out in public. |

In Maryland shops, they have to turn off the sound-recordings on their CCTV cameras ! |

It's the public vs. private things. You can't go into someone's home and secretly record them without their consent. You have a reasonable expectation of privacy INSIDE your home or office. That expectation doesn't apply outside. Outside of your house = public as far as the law in concerned. However, there have been some successful video with audio recording challenges in MD. The context of the conversation matters. If the conversation held in public was deemed to be private and confidential in nature and was illegally recorded, then the Rivian owner could get in trouble. Just another aspect showing how our legal system has failed to keep up with technological changes adequately enough. |

The only time I did something like this was when I was selling my house and I would watch the Ring camera footage and see all the conversations potential buyers would have on the front porch after touring. I didn't feel bad because the camera was so obvious and everyone knows about Ring doorbells.
