Re: Recording Telephone Calls
In California, recording of a telephone call requires consent of all parties to the call. It is a CRIME to record without this consent.
It's possible that tribal sovereignty would override this law, but the best practice is to obtain consent by advising callers that they're being recorded.
Hire a lawyer to research the question if you desire a more definitive answer.
