Conversations with police in the course of their duties are not private conversations, but many other things you may record on a public street are. You have the right to videotape and audiotape police officers performing official duties in public. It is not a violation of the Pennsylvania Wiretap Law to do so. That means you can record an officer during a traffic stop, during an interrogation, or while he or she is making an arrest.
A qualified dividend is a type of dividend that is taxed at the capital gains tax rate. Generally speaking, most regular dividends from U.S. companies with normal company structures (corporations) are qualified.
Dividends can be taxed either at the ordinary income tax rates or at the preferred long-term capital gains tax rates. Dividends that qualify for the lower long-term capital gains tax rates are called qualified dividends. Qualified dividends are taxed at rates of 0%, 15% or 20% as compared to the ordinary rates ranging from 10% to 39.6%. To be a qualified dividend, the investor must have held the stock for more than 60 days during the 121-day period that begins 60 days before the ex-dividend date, the IRS.
