Hidden camera laws in Oklahoma
The actual statute, in plain English — not a paraphrase of a paraphrase.
The statute
21 Okla. Stat. § 1171(B) (Peeping Tom — Use of Photographic, Electronic or Video Equipment)
What it prohibits
Oklahoma’s Peeping Tom statute bans clandestinely using photographic, electronic, or video equipment for an illegal, prurient, lewd, or lascivious purpose to view, watch, or capture images of a person without their knowledge and consent, in a place where they had a reasonable expectation of privacy — as well as publishing or distributing images obtained that way. A related, narrower subsection separately makes it a misdemeanor to secretly capture an image of a person’s "private area" specifically, without consent, whether the person is in a public or private place.
Penalty
Felony under the camera/equipment subsection — imprisonment up to 5 years and/or a fine up to $5,000. (The narrower "private area"-only subsection is a misdemeanor; basic non-camera loitering is a separate misdemeanor.)
