Recording laws in Virginia: what you need to know.
Virginia is a one-party consent state under Va. Code § 19.2-62. Recording a conversation you are not a party to, without a participant's consent, is illegal — and a hidden device capturing your private conversations can be found and documented.
Private conversations — one-party
At least one party must consent; secretly recording a conversation you are not part of is illegal interception.Public settings — privacy exception
Recording is generally allowed where there is no reasonable expectation of privacy, such as a public place.Illegal interception is a felony in Virginia, carrying serious criminal penalties plus civil liability under Virginia law. If you suspect you are being recorded or watched without consent, a professional sweep confirms it and documents the evidence.

Trained directly by top intelligence operatives and recognized for uncovering some of the largest illegal wiretapping operations in American history, he leads every case with unmatched technical expertise and investigative precision.
What people are saying
Three decades of high-stakes cases — in the words of the people we protected.
Thanks, Michael, for discovering an illegal hook-switch bypass in our conference room — a bug that cost us billions. Even when the company couldn't be saved, it kept Lorenzo out of the airline industry for good.
Peros uncovered over 65,000 illegal intercepts. That evidence led to the case being thrown out — and earned praise from the U.S. Inspector General's Chief Investigator.
Michael Peros, our White Knight, saved us from malicious prosecution when we were wrongly charged with our child's murder. Exposing the illegal microphone hidden in our bedroom was key to prevailing — all charges dropped.
Michael saved me $3M in legal fees and protected 12 other defendants. He uncovered illegal wiretaps and a hidden “Brady Bug” in my office — what's considered the largest illegal wiretapping case in U.S. history.
Michael found a TK-400 Japanese audio bug hidden behind my desk. He saved my billion-dollar company — the greatest TSCM counter-surveillance engineer there is.
Thank you, Michael Peros, for saving my professional horse track from financial disaster by exposing 13 illegal wiretaps on the phones.
If any of this sounds familiar, it's time to reach out.

McLean TSCM Services by Certified TSCM Specialists
Certified TSCM Help Available Today in McLean, Virginia — Call Now for Confidential Support. McLean is the home of CIA headquarters, Booz Allen Hamilton, SAIC, Leidos, and dozens of the most sensitive intelligence community contractors in the United States. No city in America has a higher concentration of national security work happening in private office buildings and residential properties. Professional TSCM available same-day across McLean and Northern Virginia.
Why McLean Needs Expert TSCM Services
McLean, Virginia is arguably the most sensitive private surveillance environment in the United States. CIA headquarters sits inside the town limits. The Tysons Corner corridor hosts Booz Allen Hamilton, SAIC, Leidos, DXC Technology, and dozens of cleared defense and intelligence contractors whose employees carry security clearances and handle classified information in commercial office spaces. The private residences of McLean and Great Falls house senior intelligence officials, cabinet-level advisors, and defense industry executives — all of whom represent high-value targets for foreign intelligence services.
Bugged.com understands the McLean environment. The convergence of intelligence community employment, cleared contractor operations, and senior government residential concentration creates a counter-surveillance requirement that goes beyond standard corporate sweeps. We deploy certified TSCM specialists for McLean and Northern Virginia clients with full awareness of the threat environment and complete discretion — including the understanding that many clients cannot disclose the nature of their work.
Do not rely on consumer-grade bug detectors. Professional TSCM in McLean requires military-grade spectrum analysis, non-linear junction detection, physical inspection methods, and the field experience needed to identify threats that standard tools miss.
Common Threats We Detect in McLean
Hidden cameras and audio bugs in McLean, Great Falls, and Arlington luxury residences- ✓ GPS trackers on personal vehicles used by cleared contractors and senior government officials

Pioneer of CyberBugged in 2026: Entangling Attacks
In 2026, the surveillance landscape has fundamentally shifted. Threat actors are no longer deploying a single hidden microphone or camera — they are deploying coordinated networks of devices designed to work together and evade detection individually. Bugged.com calls these Entangling Attacks.
An Entangling Attack involves multiple surveillance vectors — an RF-transmitting audio bug, a dormant network implant, a compromised IoT device, and a GPS tracker — deployed simultaneously across a target environment. Each device transmits in short, fragmented bursts timed to avoid triggering standard spectrum analysis. No single device reveals the full picture. Together, they form a surveillance web that most TSCM providers are simply not equipped to detect.
Bugged.com pioneered the counter-measures for Entangling Attacks in 2026 through the CyberBugged protocol — a multi-vector sweep methodology that combines physical RF detection, non-linear junction scanning, network forensics, and behavioral signal analysis in a single coordinated deployment. If your environment has been targeted by a sophisticated actor — a competitor, a foreign state, a hostile litigant — a standard sweep is not enough. You need CyberBugged.
