Is a hidden camera in my hall legal?
I found a hidden camera in my hall a few months ago. It was installed inside the first step of the staircase going up to my apartment with the carpet hanging over it slightly in an attempt to conceal it (I live in a 2 story building on the second floor). It was not installed by my landlord, but rather by my neighbor downstairs on the first floor. He and his wife are paranoid. They have four cameras in the front of the building and two in their yard. They never told us about the hidden camera in the step. The cameras out front and in their yard are to deter potential burglars I'm assuming, so I feel like that hidden camera is to keep an eye on me and my family. Is this legal? I feel like it's a violation of our privacy and trust. I don't know if you need this information, but I live in Queens. Thank you very much for your time. Take care.
