I know most people say, "Cover your ass :what:" and notify people etc. at al and what not. However, the limited information I've been able to find says that Mississippi is a One-Party consent state for oral communications. I'm sure that's mostly directed at recording phone lines for businesses and private parties.
Anyone know how this relates to face-to-face oral communications and voice recorders? If I have problems with Leo's (and in my town I know I probably will) I want to know how far consent has to go, if I notify and they tell me they don't want to be recorded etc. etc. (even though LEO's record US...:banghead. I wast know as far as continuing recording when they say "turn it off", or not even notifying them. Do I have a leg to stand on as far as the law goes to keep recording because Ms (as far as I know) is a One-Party state, or will I end up next to bubba for violating recording laws.
I'm very curious since my permission slip should be in soon (cross fingers :celebrate), and when I start OCing how much do I need to divulge about recording, and the legalities of it if I don't HAVE to notify, I probably won't for the sake of keeping the integrity of the conversation as they WOULD say it, instead of "OH CRAP! he's recording!" and having them turn into a robot that doesn't want to get his ass handed to him by an incriminating recording.
I'm still sifting through the "Best audio recorders" threads throughout the boards, so I'm in the market if you guys want to throw a suggestion in
