It drives me crazy when everyone says, "Oh we are tape recording all of this so watch out". Yes that can be the case sometimes but everyone should know their rights when it comes to their privacy. Here is a tidbit from wiretaping laws.
"The U.S. federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. A majority of the states and territories have adopted wiretapping statutes based on the federal law, although most have also extended the law to cover in-person conversations. 38 states and the D.C. permit recording telephone conversations to which they are a party without informing the other parties that they are doing so.
12 states require, under most circumstances, the consent of all parties to a conversation. Those jurisdictions are California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington."
So to sum up, if you live in one of those 12 states, your consent is needed to be recorded. If you live in one of the 39, well you're SOL.
