... to bug your car... and borrow it to a friend, with the intention of spying on them?
 
100% legal if you plan to post the collected evidence in this thread for us to judge..
 
You can only "legally" bug your car if you are party to the conversations which you are trying to record. If you're not party to, then you need to inform the person.

I assume this extends to your home or parents' home as well? Because there was a story here last week of a caregiver assaulting an elderly women and her children set up a hidden camera in her room. Would the video be admissable in court? I think the old woman suffers from memory loss so it would for the courts to know if she consented.

That is the place of employment of the caregiver. In that scenario the employer has the right to intercept any activity which they deem to be suspicious.

Similarly to our employers having the right to use our internet activity or emails for that matter against us.
 
ok, I'll just do it anyway. rather the truth than to always sit & wonder... will keep you updated :whistle:

at a workplace you normally sign on joining to give them that permission.
If they later want to add cameras they have to inform staff...

It is conpletely different when the children do it to protect their ailing parent, it was also not the enployer who "bugged" the room.
