SPY PRODUCTS ADELAIDE

Surveillance and Monitoring Equipment, Adelaide

Equipment shipped to Adelaide and throughout South Australia, supplied with the state legal position explained. South Australia rewrote its surveillance law comparatively recently and the current rules are stricter than a lot of the advice circulating online suggests.

The South Australian position

The Surveillance Devices Act 2016 governs listening, optical, tracking and data surveillance devices in this state, and it takes a broadly restrictive approach with defined exceptions.

Recording conversations. South Australia generally requires consent. There is an exception where the use of a listening device is reasonably necessary to protect a person’s lawful interests, which is real but narrower than most people hope. It is not a general licence to record anyone you are in dispute with.

Use and publication. The Act separately restricts communicating or publishing information obtained through a surveillance device, including where the recording itself was lawful. This trips people up constantly. Making a recording and sending it to somebody are two different legal questions.

Tracking devices. Using a tracking device to determine the location of a vehicle or person without consent is an offence.

Optical surveillance. Regulated, with exceptions for premises you occupy and for protection of lawful interests.

General information only. South Australia’s lawful interests exception turns heavily on the specific facts, so take advice before relying on it.
