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.
Non-qualified dividends are taxed at the ordinary income rate. The rate at which qualified dividends are taxed depends on the income of the recipient. Investors are attracted to dividend-paying stocks and mutual funds, especially those who are attempting to generate income from their portfolios.
