You cannot record your phone calls without permission from the other person in a two party consent state (such as California).

- pen2l 12y agoAn eeeeeexcellent reason to have non-primitive phone line systems. Do the "this call may be recorded for quality and assurance purposes yada yada" at the beginning before being hooked to a person on your side. You can make it sound unremarkable enough that they might not even notice it if you do it well enough. Remember, Facebook et al. is the furthest thing from your friend, whether you're a facebook user or another thing in its ecosystem. Put your game face on when approaching or being approached by these companies. Document everything, because they will most likely end up f'ing you over. edit: recording phone calls isn't just really good to protect yourself Facebook, it's also good for a whole array of other reasons. It captures synchronous information to keep note-taking easy, gives you a chance to look into everything a client requested/complained about and when when they brought it up, etc. tl;dr: get a proper phone system with recording abilities installed asap
- toomuchtodo 12y agoDon't accept business calls from someone unwilling to allow you to record it?
- poker_face 12y agoThis is just not realistic - in business if you tell everyone you're taping them when they call you, nobody is going to talk to you. You go out of business if nobody talks to you. In any case, this discussion about phone calls is a side-show. If Twitter is going to cut you off from their API, you can't avoid that by not picking up their calls.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoThere is no expectation of privacy on voice communication. Further, recording is fundamental to how digital devices work. It is unavoidable. Your cell phone is not an analog device. The only question is: how long does your device keep a recording of the signal before deleting it?
- URSpider94 12y agoI'm confused. Are you saying that recording a voice call without explicit consent in California is NOT illegal? Because I'm sure there are a lot of prosecutors and judges out there in CA who would disagree with you.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoCan you provide a statue citation? Modern devices already make a recording of the 'call' (it is fundamental to the working of the device). Consent is explicit in choosing to use a device that is well-known to make recordings. There is no expectation of privacy due to the explicit consent mentioned above and wide-spread allegations and revelations of US intelligence agencies and their affiliates and subsidiaries copying and storing Internet communications, as well as being able to 'listen in' on communications as they occur.
- jsprogrammer 12y agoDownmods instead of citations of claimed facts?
- ohazi 12y agoYou're confusing legal constraints and technical constraints. Nobody's claiming that a phone doesn't create, transmit, and receive "recordings" in order to act like a phone. The pertinent question is whether/when you are allowed to make a recording of a phone call, for yourself, for whatever reason. You're being downvoted because you're missing the point.
- biot 12y ago15 seconds of googling led me to section 632(a) of the California Penal Code. You could have done the same research yourself instead of promoting an incorrect understanding of the law and then asking that others do your homework for you.
