In order for a prosecutor to secure a conviction for any of these unlawful acts, the prosecutor must prove that the defendant acted knowingly. If the defendant is found guilty of a first offense, the offense is a category D felony. However, repeat offenses will result in a conviction for a category C felony offense. Any felony offense is a serious crime for which a defendant can face harsh penalties including a lengthy jail sentence and a permanent felony record
Persons, firms, corporations, associations, and partnerships are all subject to the prohibitions against unlawful recordings found within Nevada Revised Statute section 205.217, and all parties can be found guilty of a criminal offense if they violate these rules in relation to unlawful sound recordings.
