I wonder if apps like this could be used to circumvent the recording consent laws in certain states. Instead of having the phone/app make the recording, it could transmit the video/audio stream to a central server in another state where recording without consent is legal. Plus you wouldn't be at risk of losing your recording if somebody takes your phone.
- jeffool 15y agoI sincerely doubt this (though I'm no lawyer.) Generally the rules are written so that it applies to the act of recording. The copy is being made on the phone, then sent.
- romey 15y agoI'd be interested to know if having an open phone line while speaking to the police could be defended in court. Consider an app that didn't actually _record_ locally, only streamed to a remote server (in a state where the recording was legal) that recorded the conversation.
- dmbass 15y agoDigitizing an analog stream is probably considered recording.
