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:
California
Connecticut
Delaware
Florida
Illinois
Maryland
Massachusetts
Michigan
Montana
New Hampshire
Pennsylvania
Washington
The 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:
Alaska
Arkansas
Colorado
District of Columbia
Georgia
Hawaii
Idaho
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Louisiana
Maine
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
New Mexico
New York
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Rhode Island
South Carolina
South Dakota
Tennessee
Texas
Utah
Vermont
Virginia
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming
This 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.
Hope that fully answers your question..

There are many factors involved. Is the conversation deemed private or public? Most conversations recorded cannot be used in a court of law. Generally you can record conversatins in 38 states that have a "one party" consent statute. This means that you can record your conversation with another person without their knowledge. You may not record a conversation between two other people. Twelve states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington.

Louisiana is a one-party recording state, which means that only one party to the conversation (you, if you are there to hear the conversation) must agree to be recorded.

It depends on the situation and it depends on the jurisdiction. I will answer as a PI in Georgia. It is legal in Georgia to record a conversation if you are a party to the conversation. So the phone call could be recorded if the PI or the PI's client (or another consenting party of the conversation) gives their permission. It is illegal for anyone (PI or not) to record a convesation if they are not a party in that conversation.
