So I was wondering about the privacy laws and recording your conversation, as many here do, when confronted by LEOs.
I found the following which to me says recording ANY conversation in WA State without prior notification of the other party(s) would be illegal: http://www.rcfp.org/taping/states/washington.html
(It makes an exception for news media based on the fact that it is reasonable for anyone to assume they are recording what is going on)
So when we make a hidden recording of LEO actions that are harrassment or downright illegal are those recording legal? If they are not I can't see as the would ever be admitted into a court.
Anyone help clarify this?
