That will depend on the text of the statute. My guess is that if the punisheable offence is the act of taping without consent, it should not theoretically matter when the information was erased, if at all. It may, however, affect the availability of evidence and make the prosecution more difficult.
Насчет домашних камер, вот вам пример:
The unwary may believe that it is permissible to hide a video camera in one's home or elsewhere which also records the oral communications that took place during the videotaping. Such taping is prohibited under the wiretapping statute. Virginia Code §19.2-61 et. seq.
