Recording Conversations?
Discussion
Sinister.
Depends on its use, if you intend to use it in a legal environment then I heard that evidence like that is inadmissable (IMO it shouldnt be, how are you supposed to catch someone off their guard if you've let them know you're recording them?)
If it's just so you can crack one off while listening to the sultry tones of Gladys the book keeper then you'll probably be ok not telling them.

Recently in a presentation by a VoIP firm we were told the following:
You may not bulk record conversations without letting the other end know. ie, Recording all inbound and out.
You MAY record one off calls without announcening the call.
I'm not 100% sure of this as you could just get a whole call centre to press record and delete if after if there was no problem. It'd be suspicious, but not illegal.

All parties must give consent to it.GreigR said:
Hi
Just a quick question, are you allowed to record telephone conversations and group meetings without the other people knowing?
You always hear on the phone "this conversation may be recorded" but what about meetings?
Thanks

You could put a really small note on the meeting docket on the entrance to the meeting which states in miniscule type that the meeting may be recorded, thus anyone who enters has implicitly consented.

That's how I understood it (the inadmissible evidence bit - not the cracking one off bit).Depends on its use, if you intend to use it in a legal environment then I heard that evidence like that is inadmissable (IMO it shouldnt be, how are you supposed to catch someone off their guard if you've let them know you're recording them?)

AFAIK
Recording conversations when at least one of parties is aware of the recording is ok.
Read that again.Recording conversations when at least one of parties is aware of the recording is ok.
i.e. you couldnt record a chat between two people who didnt know they were being recorded.
Not that i think it is right, but no so stupid as you are making out.
On that website I gave earlier www.rectel.co.uk
It quotes
"It is not illegal in the UK to record a phone conversation for your own use and you don't have to tell the other party that you are recording the call. If you are recording calls for other purposes we advise that you check the relevant laws before using the recording."
How true I don't know.
