People can record telephone calls and conversations without the permission of participants.

Now as to whether that act of recording violates a particular state's law, or the state's evidenciary rules as to admissibility, that may well be problematic. But to declare that it cannot be done isn't correct.


A good practice would be to advise participants in advance that you're doing it. And if you're in a situation where you want to record but not mention it up front, then you probably shouldn't be conversing with that person in the first place.


Goodness.... I'm just glad Jeff's back on the list.
