Hidden camera laws by state

Hidden camera laws in Nebraska

The actual statute, in plain English — not a paraphrase of a paraphrase.

The statute

Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-311.08 (Unlawful Intrusion; Photograph, Film, or Record Intimate Area; Distribute)

What it prohibits

Nebraska bans knowingly intruding on another’s solitude or seclusion without consent; knowingly photographing, filming, or recording another’s intimate area without knowledge or consent when it would not be generally visible to the public, in a public or private location; and distributing, or threatening to distribute, images obtained this way.

Penalty

Intrusion: Class I misdemeanor first offense, Class IV felony on a subsequent offense. Recording an intimate area: Class IV felony. Distribution: Class IIA felony (first/second), Class II felony (third or later).

This is general public information, not legal advice, verified against the statute text linked below as of this writing — legislatures amend these laws periodically (Florida renamed its own statute in 2024). If this matters for a real situation, read the current text yourself or talk to a lawyer: https://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=28-311.08. Separately, recording audio of a conversation is governed by a different law (wiretap/eavesdropping statutes, which vary by state on whether one party or all parties must consent) — this page covers image/video capture only.

If you've actually found something, the statute matters less than what you do next: read the six steps here.
