Re: Tape recording phone conversations

It's legal to tape record a phone conversation in Pennsylvania if the other person knows, and gives consent.

If there is no knowledge and consent, the person making the tape can be prosecuted.

If you tell me more specifics about the situation, I can tell you more about when/if/how they can be used.
