Is it illegal to tape a person's conversation if they didn't give consent to be recorded in Oregon?

Yes. Oregon is a "one party" state which means that only one party of the conversation needs to consent to the recording.
This means that you, or somebody who has given priorconsent, needs to be in the conversation (recording a conversation between neighbors when none of them know would be illegal).
However, all parties must be informed of the recording. So, if you always record your calls, you can simply answer the phone with something like, "Hello, this call is being recorded. Go ahead."
Find an attorney if you're trying to record a conversation across state lines, as some states have other laws about that.
Basically, you need to be in the conversation, tell the other person you're recording, and then it's good.
IANAL
Applicable Laws under Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS):
§165.535 Definitions applicable to obtaining contents of communications
§165.540 Obtaining contents of communications
§165.543 Interception of communications

∙ 15y agoWhile the U.S. federal law only requires one-party consent, many states have accepted different laws. In some states allparties must give their consent or at least be notified that the call is about to be recorded (with necessary opt-out option: if you don't like them to record the call, you can ask them to stop recording). There also was a case law decision from many years ago (the 1950's) that went to the Supreme Court and affirmed that the federal law does not supersede state authority/statutes unless the call or the tap crosses state lines - that is why each state went ahead and established their own guideline/statute.

∙ 14y agoIt depends on the circumstances and what the intended use of it is. If they appear in the background of 'tourist shots,' no - news media shots, also no. However, if it is meant for a commercial use, a "release" must be obtained from all parties whose faces appear on the film (that is why you often see peoples faces 'blurred-out' in some "reality" shows on TV). Also - there can be an element of harassment or intimidation involved in the use of video-cams and that may be covered under the appropriate criminal statutes.

Is it legal to record two persons talking?
Yes as long as both parties being recorded are aware that the conversation is being recorded.
Is it legal to record a conversation in Missouri?
There are 12 States in the U.S. That requires ALL parties involved in the conversation (All Party Consent) to be made aware that the conversation is being recorded. These States are:CaliforniaConnecticutDelawareFloridaIllinoisMarylandMassachusettsMichiganMontanaNew HampshirePennsylvaniaWashingtonThe following 38 States require that at least ONE person (One Party Consent) involved in the conversation has given permission for the conversation to be recorded including the person doing the recording:AlaskaArkansasColoradoDistrict of ColumbiaGeorgiaHawaiiIdahoIndianaIowaKansasKentuckyLouisianaMaineMinnesotaMississippiMissouriNebraskaNevadaNew JerseyNew MexicoNew YorkNorth CarolinaNorth DakotaOhioOklahomaOregonRhode IslandSouth CarolinaSouth DakotaTennesseeTexasUtahVermontVirginiaWest VirginiaWisconsinWyomingThis falls under the United States Code: Title 18.2511. As long as you actually take part in the conversation and are doing so in a State that allows "One Party Consent", it is quite legal to record the conversation without another party in the conversation giving permission or even being told that they are being recorded.The answer with the States provided is exactly correct and the actual US code was provided to prove its validity. No one needs to be "Notified" in "One Party Consent" States which Missouri is indeed one of. It is true that you cannot ever record another person or persons conversation without one of the parties consent or all parties consent in the 12 named States if you're not part of the conversation, but as long as you yourself are a part of that conversation, you are permitted under that US code to record the conversation as you are that "One Party" and it is a little silly to notify yourself, don't you think? To use as an example, if I were to receive a call from a debt collector and I answered the phone while in the State of Missouri, I can start recording the conversation as soon as I answer the phone without telling the caller that I am doing so. It is what is considered "Black letter law" and can't be disputed in a Court of Law.Not without at least one party to the call or conversation being notified that recording is occurring. It is illegal in ALL states to intercept and record conversations to which you are not a party.
Does it go against the 4th amendment to tape conversations in a private setting?
You will need to look into your state laws for the answer to this question. Some states require that only one person be aware that a conversation is being recorded; some states require that all persons involved be aware that a conversation is being recorded.
Is printing someones name a forgery?
yes without there consent. or if used for illegal purpose.
Is it illegal to tape record someone without their knowledge in Ohio?
The answer provided specifically states exactly what you just repeated. Also the answer provided did not distinguish between personal or over the phone conversations because it was irrelevant to the answer as both apply equally.The bottom line and to avoid further confusing the person posing the question, anything that is recorded in Ohio is fine as long as you are part of the conversation or you have permission from at least one person who is involved in it.I also disagree in regards to "getting every persons permission first" if there are multiple States involved in the conversation. It is easier to ask what State a person is calling from then warning them about recording a conversation. The whole point of recording it to begin with is (I am assuming) to catch someone with their pants down breaking the law such as harassment or threats. I seriously doubt that you'll get someone to agree to having them be recorded while that is going on. Unless the State a person is in has an "All Party Consent" law, keep it to yourself.-------------------------The question does not state if the conversation is being recorded 'in person' or 'over- the-phone.' The following covers only 'over the phone' conversations: Ohio's wiretapping law is a "one-party consent" law. Ohio law makes it a crime to intercept or record any "wire, oral, or electronic communication" unless one party to the conversation consents. Ohio Rev. Code § 2933.52. Thus, if you are in Ohio, you may record a conversation or phone call if you are a party to the conversation or you get permission from one party to the conversation in advance.That said, if you intend to record conversations involving people located in more than one state, you should play it safe and get the consent of all parties.----------------------------There are 12 States in the U.S. That requires ALL parties involved in the conversation (All Party Consent) to be made aware that the conversation is being recorded.
