Stalking & Electronic Surveillance Statutes

Placing an unauthorized GPS tracker, AirTag, or hidden camera on another person's property or in a private residence violates state and federal laws:

Federal Stalking Statute (18 U.S.C. § 2261A): Prohibits electronic surveillance and tracking causing substantial emotional distress or reasonable fear of death/injury.
Wisconsin GPS Tracking Law (Wis. Stat. § 940.315): Specifically classifies placing a global positioning device on a vehicle without owner consent as a Class A misdemeanor.
Wiretap & Hidden Camera Laws (18 U.S.C. § 2511): Unlawful audio recording or non-consensual visual surveillance in areas with reasonable expectation of privacy carries severe felony penalties.

Forensic Rules for Victims & Investigators

Handling digital surveillance evidence requires strict adherence to chain of custody so prosecutors and judges can authenticate the findings:

Never Factory Reset: Erasing an AirTag or resetting a camera firmware destroys volatile pairing logs and linked Apple ID/account tokens.
Protect Fingerprints & DNA: Handle adhesive tape and battery contacts with clean gloves or tweezers if possible.
Preserve Carrier & Wi-Fi Logs: Take note of router MAC tables and Bluetooth RSSI signal strengths if detected via RF scanner.
File a Police Report Early: An official incident number allows subpoenas to Apple, Google, or cellular providers to unmask the device registrant.
