[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If anyone can provide a link saying consent can be defined merely by working around cameras, knowing they have audio and continuing to work that would be awesome![/quote]

Here you go:

Page 2, under the heading "Consent"
[quote]What constitutes “consent” is also an issue of contention when you are considering recording a conversation.[b] In some states, “consent” is given  if the parties to  the  call  are  clearly  notified  that the  conversation  will  be  recorded,  and they  engage  in  the  conversation anyway.  Their consent is implied[/b]. For example, we have all experienced calling a customer service department only to hear a recorded voice warning, “ This call may be recorded for quality assurance or training purposes.” [/quote]

This is specific to a taped PHONE conversation between two parties.
What I wanted to see is how consent is proved for an individual to who is not part of a PHONE conversation.
Someone working in a private residence where one party at another location can hear what another party in the home is saying to anyone else or even themselves.

No one really seems to get it.
And no ......wiretapping laws can apply to audio recordings.

It can also all be inadmissible in court.
Say you do not have tangible proof that a nanny consented to being audiotaped.
No signed consent form or audio recording.
And what if this nanny has the baby/child out of view of the camera, but can be heard hitting the child, screaming incessantly at the child and/or saying abusive things like “You little _______!” You deserve to die!
Etc.

Unless the family can show evidence that the nanny had allowed her consent then they are out of luck because that audio will be tossed out as evidence.
That is why anyone who records audio in their home needs to have the parties CONSENT.

Right now this only applies to just 13 states in our country.
All others can record audio w/out any laws preventing it.
