No. As long as you are a party to the conversation then you do not have to tell them you are recording them.
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.
Probably not. Virgina has a "one party" wiretapping law, which covers all oral communication where the parties have some expectation of privacy.If you're one of the parties in the conversation (so that the people you're taping know that you're listening to them), then it's perfectly legal for you to use a concealed recording device and tape the conversation.If you're not a party to the conversation but the speakers don't have a reasonable expectation of privacy (you're sitting at the next table in a public restaurant), then it's probably legal, because the speakers would have a hard time arguing that they had no idea that the conversation they were having in a public place could possibly be overheard or intercepted.If you're not a party to the conversation and the speakers have reasonable cause to think their conversation is private (you planted a bug in someone's living room), then it's illegal.
In Texas, it is legal to record a conversation if at least one party involved in the conversation consents to the recording. This means that you can record a conversation without informing the other party as long as you are part of the conversation. However, it is illegal to record a conversation if you are not part of it and do not have consent from at least one party.
In Maryland, it is legal to record a conversation if at least one party involved in the conversation consents to the recording. This means that you can record a conversation without informing the other party as long as you are part of the conversation. However, it is illegal to record a conversation without the consent of all parties involved if you are not part of the conversation.
In Pennsylvania, it is legal to record a conversation if at least one party involved in the conversation consents to the recording. This means that you can record a conversation that you are a part of without informing the other parties. However, it is illegal to record a conversation that you are not a part of without the consent of all parties involved.
Only if your a Democrat.
Yes, as long as you are a party to that conversation. Just because it is not illegal does not mean that an employer has to allow it. They will have a policy regarding recording devices.
Audio tapng is the same thing as recording..... it is illegal to do so without warning the other party to the conversation.
The question seems to be confining the contact as person-to-person, and IN PERSON (i.e.: face-to-face). While researching this question I came upon many references to the tape recording of PHONE CALLS, but found the below cite in a labor law article published by a IA law firm specializing in Labor Law matters, dated "Summer 2009." Thus... I believe the information contained therein to probably be accurate. It read, "ln Iowa, only one party to the conversation needs to know and consent to the recording of the conversation."Added: Please note that BOTH the below links confine their information to the tape recording of PHONEconversations and do not address the recording of face-to-face, inter-personal conversations.
Colorado is a one-party consent state, which means it is legal to record a conversation as long as one person involved in the conversation consents to the recording. However, it is illegal to record a conversation if you are not part of the conversation and do not have consent from at least one of the parties.
In Pennsylvania, it is illegal to record a conversation without the consent of all parties involved. Violating this law can result in criminal charges and penalties, including fines and potential imprisonment.
Federal law states that one party of the conversation must know that the conversation is being taped. In other words, I can tape a conversation between me and someone else, but I can't tape a conversation that doesn't involve me. The recording of a non-electronic conversation under West Virginia law is only legal if the party being recorded had no expectation of the conversation being private. In other words, recording such conversation would have to be done in a public place.
