Oww. That hurts. That really hurts.
Go to the lower part of the link page. There is a question and answer part. They answer in the affirmative for a mic.I don't wear a watch either, but that is seriously a good idea. Any idea if it has a built in mic?

You haven't been here long enough to be aware of the state laws involved. Unless you tangle with federal officers, the federal laws are of no concern.Be careful of recording people, especially cops. There are federal "wiretapping" laws which can make illegal recording anyone without them knowing you are doing it. People have been busted for recording cops openly with a camera because the court ruled that it wasn't sufficiently obvious.
Depending on the laws you might need to announce that people are being recorded.
Look at the link, the answers are there, really.GREAT idea! I wounder however how good is the voice quality and how long is the record time?
There are other sources of knowledge than this forum. I am not sure why you would mention how long I have been "here", as if my presence in an online forum has a relationship to my knowledge of law.You haven't been here long enough to be aware of the state laws involved.
There are plenty of laws that apply in many circumstances. Please see 18 USC 2510 [1] for the one I am referring to.Unless you tangle with federal officers, the federal laws are of no concern.
I don't know if it applies or not -- that's something for an actual lawyer to decide because it's complicated. In particular, the definitions used in the law mentioned above include:(1) Except as otherwise specifically provided in this chapter any person who— (a) intentionally intercepts, endeavors to intercept, or procures any other person to intercept or endeavor to intercept, any wire, oral, or electronic communication ...
shall be punished as provided in subsection (4) or shall be subject to suit as provided in subsection (5).
The definition there appears to protect agents of the States. What does that mean? I don't know -- I am not a lawyer I'd be hesitant to trust anyone but a lawyer to make the decision about whether it does.(6) "person" means any employee, or agent of the United States or any State or political subdivision thereof, and any individual, partnership, association, joint stock company, trust, or corporation;

Depending on the laws you might need to announce that people are being recorded. My understanding is that you can record anyone on video without an announcement, but to record voice requires you to let them know. I might be wrong and I'm not a lawyer -- this is just my memory of news and forums over the last couple of years.
