Utah Dashcam Laws
Dashcams are legal in Utah. There is no statute specifically prohibiting dashboard cameras. Utah's windshield obstruction law (41-6a-1635) restricts items that block the driver's view, so proper mounting is important.
This guide covers mounting rules, audio recording, evidence use, commercial fleet dashcams, and privacy considerations.
Dashcam Legality
Dashcams are legal for personal vehicles, commercial vehicles, rideshare vehicles, and recreational vehicles. Mount on the dashboard or behind the rearview mirror to avoid windshield obstruction issues.
Audio Recording
Audio follows one-party consent under 77-23a-4. As the vehicle operator, you are present and consenting. Audio of conversations in your car, including during traffic stops, is legal.
Dashcam Footage as Evidence
Dashcam footage is regularly admitted in Utah courts for traffic accidents (establishing fault), DUI cases, hit-and-run identification, road rage, insurance claims, and vandalism documentation. Footage must be authenticated, relevant, and unaltered.
Commercial Fleet Dashcams
Employers can install dashcams including cabin-facing cameras. Notify drivers through employment policies. The FMCSA does not prohibit dashcams.
Parking Mode
Video-only parking mode is generally permissible. Audio recording when you are absent does not involve one-party consent to conversations.
