No it is not. See: http://www.rcfp.org/taping/states/Pennsylvania.html Pennsylvania It is a felony of the third degree to intentionally intercept, endeavor to intercept, or get any other person to intercept any wire, electronic, or oral communication without the consent of all the parties. 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5703(1). The statute is set to expire in December 2008, but could be amended and remain on the books. Under the current statutory language, consent of all parties is required to tape a conversation. 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5704. Consent is not required of any parties if the parties do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy for their non-electronic communication. See definition of "oral communication," 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5702. Anyone whose communication has been unlawfully intercepted can recover actual damages in the amount of $100 per day of violation or $1,000, whichever is greater, and also can recover punitive damages litigation costs, and attorney fees. 18 Pa. Cons. Stat. § 5725. A person commits a misdemeanor if he views, photographs or films another person in a state of full or partial nudity without consent, under circumstances where the nude person has an expectation of privacy. 18 Pa.

Yes it is ;)
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.
hi
In Florida, it is legal to record a face-to-face conversation if you are a party to the conversation. However, it is important to inform the other person that you are recording the conversation to avoid violating Florida's two-party consent law. Recording without the other person's consent may lead to legal consequences.
Whether or not person can get a nursing license in Pennsylvania with a criminal record depends on the type of crime. If it isÊa violent record, the chance of getting a license in slight.
You must first notify them that the conversation is being recorded. Even if they object you have a right to record them (although it is inconsiderate and impolite).
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. So if you're wanting to record a phone call you're on, that's fine. You can't wiretap someone else's calls or office or something, though, as no one there has consented to being recorded.
Yes, only one person has to know that it is being recorded.
Only if you notify the other person that you are recording the call.
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.
