In most states as long as one party of the conversation, which could be the one doing the recording, has knowledge that they are being recorded, recording a phone conversation is legal.

Is it legal for a private investigator to tap a plaintiffs phone in a civil lawsuit?

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.

Is it legal to record a conversation with another person in California?

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.Hope that fully answers your question..

Can employers record employees phone calls in Iowa?

I believe that this question applies to the same as when people ask if they can record a phone conversation. The answer is no, not if they are not part of the call themselves. Even if the person owns the phone or pays the phone bill, they still cannot record a conversation they are not a part of. However, there are some States that allow phone recordings if they believe something illegal is being perpetrated especially if that illegal action being perpetrated is against your employer such as selling company secrets to a competitor. Also note that a company that has a suspicion that you are doing something illegal or are just using their phones for personal calls when you should be on the phone with a client can obtain a warrant from the Courts if they have sufficient evidence of this such as a call list (a list of phone numbers incoming and outgoing) which is indeed legal to do. If a warrant is issued, then they can legally record all incoming and outgoing phone calls from your extension or another you might be using.
