It is legal to tape you own conversations witout telling the other person or people. Depending on the laws there, it may not be admissable in court, but a good attorney can find other ways to get the same info into court. A tape definately would help him know what to go after and where to possibly find it. It is illegal for a third party to tape a conversation without the conversationalist's knowledge.

As usual with legal-related questions on Yahoo! Answers, too little information exists to answer this question adequately.  The state you're in would be helpful.  Not posting the same question five times would be helpful.  Nevertheless, I'll answer what I can in this question, and post another question if you need more details.\n\nAt this date and time, it's getting a little too late to deal with the problems adequately.  A notarized note will not be very helpful - after all, the dispute is not about whether the house exists in that condition, but whether you or the landlord should be responsible for the cost of those conditions.\n\nTaking photographs and video is helpful, but again it only shows that damage exists, not who is responsible for it.  The video, though, may be able to show that it wasn't from your abuse of the apartment, but from natural wear and tear that the landlord refused to repair.\n\nDo you have any record of communication with the landlord?  That's the strongest piece of evidence you'll have.  You'd be able to show that you notified the landlord, or that the landlord acknowledged receipt of that request.\n\nIt's a little too late now, but you should have sent certified mailings to the landlord.  The landlord would have had to sign a card acknowledging that he received your letter, and you would have proof that he received your request.  With just 10 days to go, it's too late for that.\n\nI would carefully catalog everything that has happened, with each date you noticed the problem if possible, if the cause was natural, when you notified the landlord, and the entire history of the dispute.  Photos and video are helpful if you go to court.  A notarized statement is not very helpful.  Records of communication with your landlord are extremely helpful.  Otherwise, if you don't get the security deposit, you may simply have to go to small claims court with the recordings and hope that the judge believes your story.

Wiretapping is different from verbal recording.  I can be having a conversation with someone at a meeting and they could record the conversation without my knowledge in some states.  Now if they tapped into my phone/data line then yes there becomes an issue of wiretapping, but I don't believe that's what the person was asking.

The answer is yes and no. In general, it is not legal. In CA, it is a felony to do so if one of the parties is not aware. However, if you have a restraining order against someone, the court will sometimes grant you permission to record conversations without the restrained person's knowledge. This only applies to conversations and phone calls that violate the order, however. The police can also record any converstaions they have with you. There are exceptions to threats to your health and safety.\n\n*****EDIT EDIT EDIT*******\n\nKu Lok, you are totally wrong. You CANNOT record a telephone conversation (or any private conversation) in CA without the knowledge of ALL parties in the converstation. Doing so is a felony, not a matter of admissability in court. Read CA Penal Code 632.

I work in CCTV  Yes you can, although you need to be aware of the data protection act. You need to make people aware they are being recorded and by whom (sticker in the car window). They can also ask for a copy of the tape,  which is ace as you are allowed to charge up to £10 for each tape\ntry this link for a full explanation - http://www.thesecurityinstaller.co.uk/Content/dpa1998.asp

The facts are clear as you expressed them.  You have done an excellent job.  With this documentation, approach management with your question and document carefully whatever response you get, who said it, time and date.  Then ask to meet with his/her boss and do the same.  This way, you have done your very best to resolve the situation.  After these steps, contact the state office that handles such grievances and wrongs.

Depends on the state.  Give an attorney a call and ask.  In some states, the other party has to know that they are being taped.

It would be recorded in the county courthouse.  It's public record and you could even call and ask a clerk to check it for you.

These rules will vary by state, due to statutory differences.  At the very minimum, the subject MUST know he or she is being recorded.  \n\nCheck with your state's worker's comp commission or insurance fraud division for the rules that will apply to you.

If nothing else, your lawyer can subpoena the transcript.  If he sent you out to do it yourself, however, he probably thinks it's easy to do.  Call the police department's NON-EMERGENCY number, found in your phone book, and ask them.

no it was a public place and the guy knew he was being recorded, even if he didnt know its ok because it was in public, had you gone to his window at his house and tried to record him it would be different, but i would say turn the tape into the local news, and show them the shaddy laundry attendant. good luck

Ask the custodian of the records where you were reported.

Ultimately the court has the discretion whether or not to admit something like this into evidence and usually in very rare circumstances.  People are not allowed to be voice recorded without their consent and if it's the main piece of evidence in the case it is likely that the court will find it inadmissible and ask that party to make it's case with other facts and evidence.
