  Sounds a bit more complicated then what you think it is: >But the reality is that it is normally against the law to record a phone call without the other person’s consent. >In fact, ‘covertly’ (secretly) using a listening device such as a mobile phone or digital recorder and publishing or otherwise distributing that material can amount to a criminal offence. Recording private conversations: >The laws only apply to ‘private conversations’, which is one where the parties may reasonably assume that they don’t want to be overheard by others. >One of the exceptions to the prohibition against recording and/or publishing or distributing records of private conversations is where police officers have obtained what’s known as a ‘surveillance device warrant’ – also known as a ‘wire tap’ – which allows for the recorded material to be used for investigations and tendered in court provided, of course, that the material is relevant to the proceedings at hand. Between jurisdictions: >It is legal in all jurisdictions to record a phone call if ALL PARTIES to the phone call consent. https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/is-it-legal-to-record-a-phone-call-in-australia/ https://www.sydneycriminallawyers.com.au/blog/is-it-legal-to... But hey if your a Police Officer working on a case your are correct, you don't need the Consent of the other person ;)

    No, it's just as simple as I think it is. Vic, Qld, NSW, SA, Tas, all OK. That's most of Aus.

  The majority of the states in the US have one-party consent too, I believe.

    Yeah but the consent of ONE of the recorded...not the recorder itself right?
    • randomswede 5y ago
      Consent by one party of the conversation. If you initiate a recording of a conversation, you can reasonably have consented to you, yourself, recording the conversation. Note that I believe (and, IANAL) that if at least one party to the conversation resides in a "two-party consent" jurisdiction, you will need the consent from all such parties.
