In the UK is it legal to tape record a conversation between yourself another person without their consent?
Answer:
Answer
The law on recording telephone conversations is that it is perfectly legal to record any conversation without informing the other party provided it is not to be used for commercial purposes, in which case the other party must be informed. There is a special dispensation to this for reporters. People who say otherwise have been watching too much American TV, where it is illegal in some, but not all, states. This was primarily about protecting film stars et al. in California.
Whilst I cannot say for sure if this is the case for conversations held in public places, private residences, or business premises, I can't see that it would be any different.
