It is illegal in all states of this country to record telephone conversations without the permission of all parties to the conversation. However, as to a face to face meeting between several people, the recording of the conversation in the face to face meeting is not illegal even if not all parties to the face to face meeting are not aware that the conversation is being recorded.
