Leyes de grabación de Kentucky (2026): reglas de consentimiento de una sola parte

Actualizaciones

Se corrigió la sección de grabación de conversaciones en persona: el requisito de una expectativa justificada contra la interceptación proviene del derecho federal en 18 U.S.C. sección 2510(2), no de KRS 526.010, que solo define "eavesdrop" y depende del consentimiento, no del lugar donde ocurrió la conversación.

Restructured Kentucky hub per recording-redo spec: condensed 8,000-word page to readable prose (2,700 words); organized into standard sections (AEO lede, at-a-glance table, in-person, phone, hidden cameras, penalties, police, special topics, in-depth index); retained all verified statutes and citations; refreshed FAQ; preserved all primary-source URLs. Audit-fix: corrected mischaracterization of Crawford v. Geiger, 656 F. App'x 190 (6th Cir. 2016): the First Amendment recording claim was dismissed at the district court level; the Sixth Circuit appeal addressed Fourth Amendment excessive-force claims only; rewritten to accurately reflect this; Crawford added to SourcesList with CourtListener URL. All other facts confirmed: SB 4 of 2025 signed March 24, 2025; ECPA 2520 civil remedy; Hils v. Davis (officer context); Eleventh Circuit vacatur of the FCC one-to-one consent rule (Jan. 24, 2025); TAKE IT DOWN Act platform compliance May 19, 2026.

Refreshed Kentucky hub with verified KRS Chapter 526 mapping and the Kentucky-specific finding that the eavesdropping chapter contains no damages provision of its own. KRS 526.030 corrected to installing an eavesdropping device (Class D felony); KRS 526.040 corrected to possession (Class A misdemeanor); the prior page had these inverted. KRS 526.080 reframed as forfeiture only under KRS 500.090, with civil plaintiffs routed to federal ECPA at 18 U.S.C. section 2520 and common-law invasion of privacy under McCall v. Courier-Journal, 623 S.W.2d 882 (Ky. 1981). Added SB 4 of 2025 (Acts Chapter 66, signed by Governor Beshear March 24, 2025) as Kentucky's first AI-governance enactment, creating KRS 42.731 plus a new section of KRS Chapter 117 for synthetic-media electioneering claims. Removed prior references to HB 91, HB 213, and SB 113 (none enacted as deepfake or AI recording law). Body-camera citation corrected from KRS 15A.300 to KRS 61.168 within the Open Records Act family. Sixth Circuit civilian record-the-police authority recast: Crawford v. Geiger, 656 F. App'x 190 (6th Cir. 2016), is unpublished and persuasive only, and Hils v. Davis, 52 F.4th 997 (6th Cir. 2022), is officer context only. The FCC one-to-one consent rule marked vacated by the Eleventh Circuit (Jan. 24, 2025); the stale 47 C.F.R. section 64.501 reference removed. Added the NLRB Stericycle workplace overlay and General Counsel Memos 25-05 and 25-07. Added the federal TAKE IT DOWN Act platform-compliance regime effective May 19, 2026. Replaced commercial-codifier URLs with apps.legislature.ky.gov, lrc.ky.gov, courts.ky.gov, and uscode.house.gov.
