You have the right to record the conversation to which you consented.

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

You can record any phone call, but it would only be admissable in court if you informed the person on the other end of the line that the call was being recorded.

If they refuse talk to you when you notify them you are recording their conversation I would think they are getting ready to lie to you. If they are aware the conversation is being recorded it is admissable in court and they probably do not want that.

So there you go!  Spag who I guess says he is a cop warns you that if you have the audacity to do the right thing and inform him you are recording he WILL punish you with a ticket!  Thanks for the warning copper but I have never told cops I record them and I record them EVERY time I am confronted by one.  Neat thing about digital cameras nowadays is they can be used to record video so if you carry it in your pocket all you have to do is turn it on and while there won't be a picture the sound quality is quite good.

no, any more than they should have the right to listen in on my phone conversations, sift through my trash, or stand outside my window at night with a cup up against my wall.\n\nit's privacy, and it's reasonable to expect it while you're in the comfort of your own home.  any invasions of my privacy are not explained to my satisfaction by someone's excuse that they are doing it to 'protect me'.  i feel i have a right to be free from 'unreasonable searches and seizures', and monitoring my online communication IS unreasonable, in my book.

Please do not try to record incoming webcam, it is dangerous because you are playing with other people's privacy.  Please respect other people's privacy....

In cases where they are just in the background, incidental to what you are doing, I don't see how anyone could expect you to get their permission to tape them.  It is the intentional pointing of a camera at a subject which is important legally.\n\nRemember, too, that most of the time those incidentally included will not even be recognizable when the tape is played.  A lot of times, you won't even realize they are there until you play it back.  I don't know whether there is case law on the subject, but I can't see how anyone could successfully argue that you had violated their rights in such a case.  The right in question is generally a right to be paid for their appearance.  Clearly you cannot pay all the people in a crowd scene, and I am confident that "included by accident" subjects, even if only a few and not a crowd, fall into the same category.  \n\nHowever, I should warn you that I am not a lawyer.  If someone hassles you, it is probably worth it to offer to reshoot the scene without them.  If you are sued, you will need a lawyer.  I am merely pointing out that the law is, generally speaking, rational.  When a judge makes a ruling that seems strange, he will offer justification based on statute and case law.  The strangeness usually comes from an otherwise sensible law (or prior ruling) being applied to something unanticipated.

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 also have extended the law to cover in-person conversations. Thirty-eight states and the District of Columbia permit individuals to record conversations to which they are a party without informing the other parties that they are doing so. These laws are referred to as "one-party consent" statutes, and as long as you are a party to the conversation, it is legal for you to record it. (Nevada also has a one-party consent statute, but the state Supreme Court has interpreted it as an all-party rule.)\n\nTwelve 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. Be aware that you will sometimes hear these referred to inaccurately as "two-party consent" laws. If there are more than two people involved in the conversation, all must consent to the taping.\n\nRegardless of the state, it is almost always illegal to record a conversation to which you are not a party, do not have consent to tape, and could not naturally overhear.

My guess would be that they think it may fall under copywrite infringement. You know "No part of this broadcast may be copied without written consent". They probably feel that way regarding all photos and so on.

Well, it's not as if the media is filming you in your home, is it?  If you are in a public place, you are exposed to public recordings.  If I were you, I would worry MUCH more about the dozens of times per day you are recorded on CCTV rather than the random and infrequent act of being caught by a BBC camera crew...

You have the right to be presumed innocent until proven guilty, to a jury trial, to an attorney, to not give testimony against yourself, to know what witnesses the prosucution is calling, what evidence they have against you, the right to call your own witnesses. All this assumes that you are in the USA. I have no idea what the rights are in other countries.

You must inform the person that you are recording the conversation or a beep sound must be made every 15 seconds on the conversation so the person  knows you are recording.  This doesnt apply if it is from a recorded message that some one leaves on your message machine.

tape record him, then call the police. tape record the conversation you have with the police. tell the police you are tape recording the conversation, and play for the police the tape of the neighbor. if the police do nothing, call the ACLU and play them all the tapes you have regarding this.
