I thought a court (not sure if it was the U.S. Supreme Court, though) had ruled that police proceedings were considered public, and therefore could be recorded by anyone.
Also, if it is illegal to record voices secretly, what does that say about all the hidden video in those "news magazine" shows? Sometimes they blur the face, but keep the voice; and they definitely have not got permission.
Thanks for the advice. We definitely want to follow the Law.
