Because the state economy depends on recreational use of land and cooperative land owners, liability laws shield the land owner from most recreation use liability issues.

When your security camera records someone "recreating", you have evidence that you are sharing your land and helping to keep NH the special place that it is. Thank you! If you don't want to participate in the open land policy, put up signs. If the camera records someone entering buildings or damaging your property, you have evidence if you decide to report it.
You probably won't get in trouble recording video on your private property, but may want to make it clear by putting up a "security cameras in use" sign, especially if you want to post pictures of people walking by. If you record people on neighboring property or erotic sights or sounds, it is best to keep the recordings to your self, so you don't run afoul of the NH privacy laws http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/rsa/.../644/644-9.htm |
I am sorry, but it’s absolute nonsense that a property owner would be expected to make special concessions for someone “recreating” on his land!
That cannot be correct....please, someone, say it isn’t so. Trust me: if I see someone lurking on my property, 911 will be the action to take, and if anyone feels victimized by this, too bad! 🤨
