No, it is generally not legal to record someone without their consent if they are outside of their home. Some states require that both parties involved in the recording be made aware or the practice, while others completely prohibit audio and video recording without permission. Moreover, if you intend to use the recording for a commercial purpose or broadcast it publicly then many states mandate that you first obtain the individual’s approval.  So unless you have received permission from the individuals involved to record them, it is safest not to do so.

Generally, no. You generally cannot record someone without their consent when they are in a public place. There are some exceptions to this rule, such as if the person is a public figure or if you’re in a place where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy like their home or workplace.
