Can a private investigator record conversations

In this episode from our Ask the Experts series, Whitney Joy Smith, Founder and CEO of The Smith Investigation Agency Inc., addresses whether private investigators can record conversations. Whitney explains that no, private investigators cannot record conversations without consent, as this would violate privacy laws in Canada. However, if the person being recorded gives consent, such as in an interview setting with written consent, then it is legal.

Whitney stresses that if any private investigation agency claims they can record conversations without consent, they are engaging in illegal activities and should be reported. She also highlights The Smith Investigation Agency's commitment to ensuring all information is gathered legally and ethically to serve clients best. Any illegally obtained information cannot be used in court and is ultimately not useful to the client.

Tune in to learn more about the legalities of recording conversations in private investigations and why ethical practices are crucial for valid and admissible evidence.
