Question

Management wants me to spy on a colleague. I'll be using a spy program that is 100% hidden, does screen captures, etc. Is there a document out there that I can have document sign to limit my liability? I want signatures from all management stating that they are authorizing me to spy. Thoughts? I have done this before, but this is the first time that they have asked me to compile data against a user for possible use in court. Thanks.
