PLEASE REWRITE YOUR QUESTION SO IT MAKES SENSE. DID YOU READ IT BEFORE YOU WROTE IT?
It is illegal in California to record a conversation without the knowledge and consent of all parties, unless the parties had no reasonable expectation that the conversation would be private. Making such a recording would be a crime, and the recording itself would be inadmissible in any court proceeding with one exception -- that the government can use it when it prosecutes the person who made it.
