New Jersey S1508 would make it unlawful to record a phone call or other conversation unless all parties consent.

New Jersey S1508 would amend the state's wiretapping statutes to make it unlawful for a private citizen to record a phone call or other conversation unless all parties consent. Currently, the wiretapping statutes provide that in situations where a person has an expectation of privacy, it is unlawful for a private citizen to use an electronic, mechanical, or other device to record a conversation, unless the person making the recording is a party to the conversation, or one of the parties consents to the recording.
