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.
Qualified dividends are usually those received from domestic corporations or certain qualified foreign corporations, and, as of 2011, they are taxed at the 15 percent tax rate if your ordinary income rate is 25 percent or higher.f there is enough profit left over to pay out dividends to shareholders, the distributions are taxed again to the individual stockholders at their regular tax rates. A C corporation can be taxed at rates as high as 39 percent, as of 2011.
