It says this 3 times without elaborating. How does this work?

Does notification equal consent, legally?

about 10 years ago I spoke with an officer who knew the law for our 'one party consent (aware) state' and was told then that you can legally record others' voices with zero person consent if it was 'posted or announced'

- However the way the law is written, it's vague enough that the 'posting or announcing' you need to give notice if recording others not in your conversation could be:

simply having 'we're recording' printed and posted on the door of a club would be legal, (nothing saying how large of print, or if it was surrounded by 100 other printed things)

and so would someone shouting 'hey we're recording' in a bar .

- that's the way the law was technically written, and though we know that yelling 'we're recording' would not be heard or even register to those who did hear the statement, that and what it would mean and most would miss the printed notice on door or forget it - it would technically be legal.

(no need to do both, either would satisfy law as written)

Not sure if the laws on this have been updated since then, and pretty sure it varies state by state.

I am not a lawyer, and am not referencing any case law here.
