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.
By federal law you can tape any conversation you are a part of.
However, Illinois's state criminal code specifies that:
A person commits eavesdropping when he:
(1) Knowingly and intentionally uses aneavesdropping device for the purpose of hearing or recording all or any part of any conversation or intercepts, retains, or transcribes electronic communication unless he does so (A) with the consent of all of the parties to such conversation or electronic communication or (B) in accordance with Article 108A or Article 108B of the "Code of Criminal Procedure of 1963", approved August 14, 1963, as amended;

No. As long as you are a party to the conversation then you do not have to tell them you are recording them.
Yes, switchblades are illegal in Alabama. They are classified as prohibited weapons under Alabama law and possession of a switchblade is considered a misdemeanor crime.
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.
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.
Yes they are illegal in Alabama
I don't know the specifics for Ireland but generally the process of recording itself is not illegal but if the recording were to be played publically you might be in trouble. Evidence to be used in a legal proceeding gathered in this way will not always be admissible.
Depends on where you are. They are illegal in New Jersey.
Yes
