I was pulled over by a police officer for not obeying traffic signal in Oregon. The officer was exceptionally rude to me. So as I was sitting in my car, I started recording our conversations. He somehow figured it out and got pissed off at me, told me that I don't have the right to record him. It's a violation of Oregon laws. I told him that I was not recording; I was recording my part of the conversation since the device was sitting on the passenger seat. Is he right? Can I use the recording as part of this case? Please remember, I'm in Oregon, I was inside my car and the voice recorder was sitting on the passenger side seat.

It does vary some state to state, but in Oklahoma the law states that as long as 1 party in the conversation knows it is being recorded, it is completely legal. This is pretty much the same in most states ie 911 calls are always recorded and 1 party in the conversation (the dispatcher) knows that they are recorded so it is legal.
I searched Oregon Law (Link is below) The only thing i could find relating to this was taping or recording at a movie theator.

undesirable adult men are stupid. I certainly have had 2 hobbies in a months time. Neither undesirable guy have been given away. I caught them and that they are finding at serious time. hobbies are no longer some thing law enforcement officers take gently. there is plenty that would pass incorrect. An harmless could be harm or killed. between the law enforcement officers can meet the comparable destiny. people who desire to run from the police, would desire to think of appropriate to the possibility they're bobbing up. Oh, wait, criminals do no longer think of roughly others, in easy terms them selves.

You would be talking to a State Trooper in Oregon or a Police Officer in New york; you must have their written consent.

I think laws vary by state-- but usually at least one or both parties being recorded need to know they are being recorded.
You should have told him up front that you were recording it.
In the end, it won't matter-- if you messup and ticket is valid, it doesn't matter if he was rude.

He is wrong. You can record whatever the hell you want in the privacy of our private property.
I'd take the conversation to his police station, and then the local TV news station.

Generally, police officers do not have a right to privacy when interacting with the public.

anything HE said cannot be admisable in court due to the fact you didnt let him know you were recording prior to the beginning of the recording so if what he said is not heard is it worth it for just what you said?

You can record anyone, anytime. Whether you can use it in court depends on too many factors to discuss here.
