It's an article about the new in-car recording systems in Royal Oak, but a couple of paragraphs at the bottom caught my eye, as this topic seems to come up frequently:
Obviously, this applies both ways, so feel free to carry a recorder in Michigan as long as you give yourself permission to record.Officers on routine patrols can record virtually anyone who speaks with them because "Michigan is a one-party state; only one party has to give permission for this," Royal Oak Police Chief Ted Quisenberry said Monday.
That's correct, said University of Michigan law professor Richard Friedman, an expert on evidence.
"What happens between the officers and the people they're investigating is not private," so no search warrant is needed, he said.
