Re: Audio taping without permission or knowledge

It depends. In NY if you are part of a conversation, you may tape it without the other party being aware of it. It is illegal however to bug the conversations of others that you are not a part of. Moreover, management may not even videotape without placing that information on the walls and notifying the employees of their use of video equiptment.

Good Luck.
