Recording of the phone conversation.
the conversation
People do not tend topay attention to their surroundings and who is around them when involved in phone conversation - easy victims.
It is illegal to record any conversation, be it land-line, cell phone or in person without the person's consent. Recording without their permission is a punishable crime. http://www.telephonecallrecorder.com/legality_of_phone_call_recording.php
A wiretap is a term that generally describes the activity of listening in on someone's phone conversation. This can be done legally by the police using a court order or illegally by criminals. The term "wiretap" derives from the fact that they attach wires to a circuit in the phone lines and so they are tapping into the electronic signal.
This needs more information. If they are two consenting adults who want to engage in activities together, probably not.
Not if you are a party to that conversation.
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.

No. Wiretapping, eavesdropping on phone conversations is illegal. Recording a conversation you are not part of cannot be used for any purpose whatsoever. If you record your own phone conversations the other person must be informed prior to the conversation and sometimes an audible beep every few seconds is required. Listening to radio communications such as a police scanner is allowed as long as what the listener has heard is never divulged to another person. The only legal means of recording without others knowledge is by court order.
