allowing admission of one-party audio and video recordings in certain circumstances.

HB 587 would allow individuals involved in domestic violence situations to use one-party recorded audio or video as evidence in court under specific conditions. The bill permits recordings made by a party to a conversation (or with that party's prior consent, excluding law enforcement acting officially) if the recording contains evidence of a crime and is not publicly shared. It specifically applies to recordings intended for court use or law enforcement, ensuring they remain confidential. This change directly affects domestic violence victims seeking to present recorded evidence without needing a second party's consent. The bill amends RSA 570-A:2 to create this exception for domestic violence cases.
