Audio Recording
Most audio recordings without consent of one or all parties are illegal.
Recording audio is very different from video, there are definite federal and state laws prohibiting surreptitious recording and monitoring of audio conversations. These laws are taken very seriously by authorities and failure to abide by them could result in severe consequences.
There are two types of defined recording situations for audio recording. They are usually referred to as “One Party Consent” and “Two Party Consent”.
“One Party Consent” means that only the person doing the recording has to give consent and does not have to notify the other party or parties that the conversation is being recorded. NOTE: The person doing the recording must be a particpant in the recording.
“Two Party Consent” means the person recording the conversation must notify all of the other parties that the recording is taking place and they must consent to the recording.
Federal Law requires “One Party Consent” for audio recording.
Note: Laws change constantly, please check your states current laws before engaging in recording.
If you know of a change or error, please inform us.
