Isn't the person who installed the device the one who is liable? Just like the law applies to regular cameras and microphones?

I honestly don't know, not a lawyer though I enjoy reading about legal issues from time to time.

I imagine that if the recording wasn't made legally, you could at least get a court to order them to delete it, even if they weren't liable for damages or something.
