I've been OC'ing for the past several years and, luckily, have never had a bad LEO encounter. I've been told that it was illegal by civilians several times, but these were civilians, so I was perfectly fine to say, "No. It's perfectly legal" then walk away.
But, in today's world, I'm sure it's only a matter of time before I do encounter a "hassle". I OC so often, I believe it's not a matter of "if", but "when".
So I want to be prepared.
I've already looked up my state law on consent. According to this: Laws on recorded transmissions- Missouri is a 1 party consent state (only one party to a conversation needs to consent. If I am in a conversation, I consent. Therefore, I can record it without the other party knowing.)
Other states need "2 party" or "all party" consent. This means (duh) "all parties" in a conversation need to consent to it being recorded in order for it to be legal.
Since I am going to be a novice recorder, are there any tips that would be beneficial for someone inexperienced with this to know?
Any reccomended types or models of recorder?
Any ways to carry it that are better?
