Is it legal to record a board meeting live in tweeter if you feel in danger
I was terrified a terrorist was in the meeting and when I asked for compensation to the Board after a condominium worker burnt my car
I was terrified he got a weapon,I was told to srop the recording and I did it.I have expired cam license but I own a real
estate license and I specialize in condominium and never saw things like this
How I know what other people are doing in their cellular phone
why I got to disclose mine?

If you feel endangered, common sense says you should contact the police and remove yourself from the situation.

In Florida owners have the right to record meetings. I'm not aware that 'tweeter' can be used to record anything at all. If you feel threatened then you should speak to someone at your local police or sheriff's department.

What is recording the meeting going to accomplish? You feel threatened then remove yourself from that situation. Approach the situation in a different way. The police are for threats not Twitter. Sounds like your approach of recording is passive-aggressive. You want to record your being the victim? To what extent and why?

Recording of meetings should not be for "proof in court" or for the police. The purpose of recording a HOA meeting is for those who can't attend to keep up with what is going on. It's a communication tool. Not a communicating "How mean/bad my HOA is".

Sometimes you need to step back and realize we create our own reality. You get what you put out. If you feel threatened, you can bet your bottom dollar that someone else feels the same way about you. So change it by not being victim and defensive. Act like what you want reflected back.

You think the Board controls the darkness?

The Board has access to control lights,we pay in open space,non elevators,no pool,just the lawn
Lamps and proper illumination at night it is a must.Will you like to walk at night in a place where you can not see even your own hands,
I do not think so.

Carlos, you said you were on social security AND have a work truck? What kind of work do you do?

Also, if the board is acting this way because of your actions, then the problem may follow you to your new place of residence.
