Recording laws in Minnesota: what you need to know.
Minnesota is a one-party consent state under Minn. Stat. §626A.02. You may record a conversation you take part in — but a third party who secretly intercepts your private communications is breaking the law, and what they capture can be found and documented.
Phone, electronic & in-person — one-party
If you are a participant, you may record. You do not need the other side’s permission to record your own conversation.Secret third-party recording — illegal
Intercepting a conversation you are not part of, without any participant’s consent, is unlawful under Minn. Stat. §626A.02.Unlawful interception is a felony in Minnesota, plus civil liability. If you suspect you are being recorded or watched without consent, a professional sweep confirms it and documents the evidence.

Information only a few people knew is somehow leaking out
Clicks, echoes, or volume changes on your phone line
Wall plates, outlets, or smoke detectors look slightly moved
Unexpected gifts or new décor from an unknown source
Radio or TV interference near certain spots in a room
Unfamiliar vehicles parked nearby for long periods

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.
