For example, if Alice can record her conversation with Bob without informing him. Where it get's tricky is if e.g. you are on a phone call with someone in another state like California where all parties need to be aware. The research I've done in the past suggests there's no clear answer on what is legal in that situation. | |

| Jun 17, 2020 at 7:57 | comment | added | vsz | "recording a conversation without consent" - please note that in most cases it's only illegal if none of the people taking part in the conversation consented, so that it's illegal to eavesdrop. If Alice and Bob have a private conversation, and Charlie records them without A or B knowing it, it's illegal, but if Alice or Bob record it without disclosing it, that might be legal. There are jurisdictions where that can be illegal too, but it's still different from the previous one. | |
