Not when owning a stealth A/V device is a criminal offense

Since when? Links to the legislation?

In the meantime, I'll carrying on breaking the law to carry on protecting myself, building up my portfolio of criminals!

It's a crime in the country where I live, article 138.1 of the Criminal Code. Illegal manufacturing, purchase or sale of special technical means intended for covert acquisition of information.

It's even more fun when the law explicitly permits[0] recording of the violation of the law but police and judges would do anything (and succeed!) declaring what that time it wasn't permitted or... wasn't violation of the law, so you couldn't record.

[0] "doesn't forbid" would be more accurate description
