Not unless they are on the telephone, when it might be some sort of offense against the telecommunications laws.

Yes it is (in California)-
EXCEPT- under a very strict guideline of "Attorney Client Privilege".
Even if you record someone illegally, you can play it to a lawyer (If (s)he says they'll listen to it).
It's not admissible in a court of law as evidence, but the lawyer can (this has been done) play it (in chambers) to the judge.
This usually only occurs if there is a very compelling reason for bodily harm to someone (a spouse who threatens to kill the other spouse for instance),

Bit of a sneaky thing to do. I think it is not ilegal to tape for your own use, but using it for other use I should think is, depends on it's use really, and how sensitive the info said.

Depends on where you live. In my state all parties involved must know or the situation must be such that a reasonable person would know that they are being recorded.
This includes public places.
Some states only in public places. At work especially in a break or lunch room is not a public place.
Some states, I know Florida is one, allows one party permission. That is why most of the crank calls you hear on the radio come from Florida.

Yes. If that person was to find out, they could make a police report for stalking.

Not sure, pretty sure it may be though....
I know if you tape someone having sex with you, without them knowing, that gets you in jail for five yrs? or so....?
So, maybe they do need permission from you, but I dont think that person taping would get it too bad, if caught. [not taping people having sex that dont know about it, that is]

I know in some states it is completely illegal to do an action of that sort. it is a HUGE violation of privacy, and if the person who was unknowingly being recorded somehow found out, they could take the culprit to court for invasion of privacy
