Can you record someones conversation in Louisiana?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

You are always free to legally record a conversation which you are a part of, whether the other person(s) you are talking to knows about it or not. However, you are not free to record the conversations that two other people are having without their knowledge, unless you have a court order which allows that.

Answer 3

Louisiana is a "one-party consent" state for recording conversations – this means as long as one party involved in the conversation consents to the recording, it is legal. Therefore, you can legally record a conversation as long as you are one of the parties involved in the conversation.

Answer 4

A person can record any conversations transmitted by wire, oral or electronic means to which he is a party, or when one participating party has consented.

Answer 5

In Texas, not only is it legal to record a conversation or otherwise, only one person needs to know a recording is in progress. That means, only the person doing the recording needs to know.
