Is it illegal to record a conversation using your cellphone in Oklahoma?

Answer 1

Texas Penal Code § 16.02: So long as a wire, oral or electronic communication - including the radio portion of any cordless telephone call - is not recorded for a criminal or tortious purpose, anyone who is a party to the communication, or who has the consent of a party, can lawfully record the communication and disclose its contents. While Texas is a one-party state, if you record a conversation without notice in which the other party is in a two party state, you can be prosecuted by that state.

Answer 2

No, Connecticut law requires two-party consent, which means that both parties to the call must be notified and give consent for the call to be recorded. 11 other states have similar restrictions. They are: California, Michigan, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington, Florida, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Illinois and Maryland.

In the remaining 38 states, one party notification/consent is typically enough.

Answer 3

Oklahoma does, indeed, have a one-party consent tape recording law. HOWEVER it only applies to IN-STATE phone calls. If the call is from (or to) an OUT-OF-STATE party, federal law prevails (ALL parties to the call must consent).

Answer 4

It is a federal law to record telephone messages without one party consent. There are 12 states who do two-party consent, which means all people must have knowledge of the recording. A one-party consent means only one person has to has knowledge and give consent to the recording. Oklahoma is a one-party consent state.

Answer 5

It may depend on what state you and/or the other person is in. With few exceptions it is not. To be safe, as a general rule it is NOT lawful.

Answer 6

if your using it for evidence or something i cant see why not. you cant tap their phone, only your own i know that much.

Answer 7

Of course it's legal. The question you should be asking is, is that recording admissable as evidence?

Answer 8

No. is it illegal to record a conversation with your cellphone without anyone knowing it in Oklahoma

Answer 9

No. Oklahoma is a 'one-party knowledge' state, and that one party can be you.
