Well it would be nice to (yes this is kinda creepy) have proof of intellectual property whilst discussing private business plans with a mentor. Some of my money ideas have been stolen and used but I would have had no way to prove it. Anyways, is this a technology? And could I provide it to people if I could learn how to build the covert portable cameras?


Answer
Covert cameras for personal use are seen as fun little toys but if you could market it to business owners or high end business professionals that could use some sort of documentation when in meetings then you might have something. NOW with that said it is illegal to record audio without the consent of one or all the parties involved so that will be a hurdle. To give you some ideas of covert cameras I have put in some links to a few I found with demo video so you can see them in action.

is it illegal to record a conversation with your boss?

i live in california and had a meeting with my boss regarding a disciplinary matter; i recorded the conversation without my boss's knowledge just in case they tried something later on. is it legal to that and use in court just in case anything ever does come out from it?


Answer
Here is your answer. Very easy to find on the internet.

California Recording Law
Note: This page covers information specific to California. For general information concerning the use of recording devices see the Recording Phone Calls, Conversations, Meetings and Hearings section of this guide.

California Wiretapping Law
California's wiretapping law is a "two-party consent" law. California makes it a crime to record or eavesdrop on any confidential communication, including a private conversation or telephone call, without the consent of all parties to the conversation. See Cal. Penal Code § 632. The statute applies to "confidential communications" -- i.e., conversations in which one of the parties has an objectively reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or overhearing the conversation. See Flanagan v. Flanagan, 41 P.3d 575, 576-77, 578-82 (Cal. 2002). A California appellate court has ruled that this statute applies to the use of hidden video cameras to record conversations as well. See California v. Gibbons, 215 Cal. App. 3d 1204 (Cal Ct. App. 1989).

If you are recording someone without their knowledge in a public or semi-public place like a street or restaurant, the person whom you're recording may or may not have "an objectively reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or overhearing the conversation," and the reasonableness of the expectation would depend on the particular factual circumstances. Therefore, you cannot necessarily assume that you are in the clear simply because you are in a public place.
