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.
