PLEASE READ AND SOMEONE WITH A REAL LEGAL BACKGROUND IN MN HELP!!! I AM THE "VICTIM" HOW DO I GET A DANCO ORDER LIFTED?

If you are asking whether one person can video tape another person without asking their permission to use it in a submission to the police, the answer is yes. Most limitations on audio and video taping relate to restrictions on the government so it does nt spy on its citizens.
