can phone calls be recorded at home if one participant agrees ,is it legal?

Answer 1

Different states have different laws regarding that:

Basically 38 states and the District of Columbia have the one party law. 12 states (California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington) require ALL parties involved to know and accept.

These laws change frequently though!

Answer 2

both have to be aware it is being recorded in most states Most companies get away with this by saing your call MAY be recorded. and they record everything. This is enough of an agreement because you do have the option to hang up.
PS tell most of the same companies that you are reording the call and they will hang up or say they do not allow that
If you leave a message on an answering message you are giving your consent.
most home recorders will beep every 30 seconds or so if you are talking on the phone and also recording.

Answer 3

The general rule in the US is, at least one ADULT PARTY TO THE CONVERSATION must be aware that the conversation is being listened to or recorded, even if that is the person doing the recording. In other words, if you, an adult, are on the phone talking to your adult friend, you do NOT have to tell them you are recording. If you, an adult, are on the phone with your adult friend, your husband can record the conversation, or listen, as long as either you OR the other adult you are talking to knows. If your child is on the phone with another child, you can listen to or record the conversation and not tell anyone, not even their parents. If your child is on the phone with an adult, you MUST tell the adult, NOT the child, that you are recording or listening to the call. To be more clear, if your daughter, at 17 years old, has not yet reached the legal age of majority in your area, you may record and listen to her conversations, without her knowledge, at any time, until she does reach the age or majority. HOWEVER, if any of those calls are between her and someone who is OVER the age of Majority, you MUST tell that other person that you are listening or recording. Just telling your daughter is not enough. The ADULT party to the conversation must know.

Answer 4

Recording a phone conversation is legal as long as one of the parties knows that it is being recorded. Otherwise a warrant is required.

Congress doesn't have the power to override the Fourth Amendment, even though they think they do.

Answer 5

check your local state laws. In same states it says that only 1 of the parties needs to know that it's happening for it to be legal... other states say BOTH parties need to agree.

Depending upon what you want, you can always answer your phone.

"Your on a recorded line, hello."

Mostly people will pause, and think.."What did he just say?" but keep on with the conversation without asking.

Answer 6

not legal without a warrant, unless your name is George bush, then you apparently can do whatever you want with no regard to established laws and precedents. Both parties need to agree/be notified for legality

Answer 7

You cannot intercept or record calls of others even if one person to the call agrees.

Answer 8

Depends on the state
