Relates to unlawful surveillance

This bill (S 6306) expands New York's unlawful surveillance laws to criminalize new behaviors involving secret recording of intimate areas or private activities. It specifically prohibits using imaging devices to secretly view or record someone under clothing, in intimate situations, or within a dwelling where they reasonably expect privacy - without their knowledge or consent. The law adds these acts as "unlawful surveillance in the second degree," with severe penalties: repeated offenses or targeting minors can elevate it to a class D felony. The bill directly affects individuals who engage in non-consensual recording, strengthening protections for privacy in sensitive settings.
