Summary of statute(s): All parties must consent to the recording or the disclosure of the contents of any wire, oral or electronic communication in Florida. Disclosing communications in violation of the stateâs statute is prohibited. Both criminal and civil penalties exist for such infractions.
Federal law permits recording telephone calls and in-person conversations with the consent of at least one of the parties. See 18 U.S.C. 2511(2)(d). This is called a one-party consent law. Under a one-party consent law, you can record a phone call or conversation so long as you are a party to the conversation.
