Recorded meeting

[Anonymous]

Yikes. HR issue. An employee who would do this is and employee who needs to be fired, and an employee who would sue. (I'm assuming that this employee actually has no legitimate reason for her grievance.)

Twelve states currently require that all parties consent to the recording: California,[20] Connecticut,[21] Florida,[22] Hawaii (in general a one-party state, but requires two-party consent if the recording device is installed in a private place),[21] Illinois (debated, see next section), Maryland,[23] Massachusetts,[21] Montana[24] (requires notification only), Nevada,[21] New Hampshire,[25] Pennsylvania,[26] and Washington.[27] However, three of the above states that permission is given if any of the parties announces that they will be recording the call in a reasonable manner if the recording contains that announcement.

What if the recording captures illegal activity?

off the top of my head, the person committing the illegal activity is in trouble and the recording can be used (not sure about this, guessing).

the person who made the recording has broken the law and can be prosecuted.

Possibly but I would bet recording a work meeting is going to fall outside the scope of the law. Meetings at work are not going to be private conversations. The employer could demand the recording I bet claiming it is their intellectual property.

i wonder if there is case law on this, but i would think a speaker at a closed work meeting has a reasonable expectation of privacy, ie, that the conversation would stay in the room and not be recorded. i don't think it matters whether there are two people in the conversation, or five, or 20.
