Is it legal for me to record a conversation without the other person's consent in Pennsylvania?

Under Pennsylvania law, it is illegal to record a conversation without the consent of all parties involved, whether that conversation is in person or over the phone. Pennsylvania is a two-party consent state, which means that all parties involved in a conversation must consent to the recording of the conversation for the recording to be legal.

There are some exceptions to this law, however. For example, if you are a party to the conversation, you may be able to legally record it without the consent of other parties. Additionally, if the conversation is taking place in a public space where there is no expectation of privacy, it may be legal to record it without the consent of all parties involved.

If you are unsure whether you can legally record a conversation, it is recommended that you seek the advice of an experienced attorney. Recording conversations without consent can lead to a variety of legal issues, including civil lawsuits and criminal charges, so it is important to proceed with caution.
