Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
I know someone who carries a tape recorder, and records his conversations with other people without their consent, or knowledge. Is that illegal? He is a confrontational sort of person, and likes to get into arguments and then records them.

California Penal Code section 632 prohibits recording confidential conversations. See here:

I provide information about the law designed to help people safely
manage their own legal needs. But legal information is not the same as
legal advice -- the application of law to an individual's specific
circumstances. I do not know all the facts of your case, and do not
represent you. Although I strive to make sure the information I
provide is accurate and useful, I recommend you consult a lawyer who
can learn the details of your case more completely, to insure that the
information I provide, and your interpretation of it, is appropriate
to your particular situation.
