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.
These qualified rates are lower than the typical income tax rate that unqualified, or ordinary, dividends are applied to. Non-qualified dividends do not qualify for the lower tax preference and are thus taxed at an individualâs normal income tax rate.
