recording without knowing

[sparkie172]

i recently had an incident at a job i no longer work at.
i thought i was fired but apparntly i self terminated myself.
anyway the owner of the company called me to meet with him and another employee to discuss what happened.
i just found out that they had recorded the meeting and didnt tell me.
is it legal for them to do that i always thought you had to be told that you are being recorded.
i live in arizona.

In the case of a telephone or in-person conversation, recording simply means making a copy of the conversation between two or more people. Recording is illegal in Arizona if NO party to the conversation knows that the conversation is being recorded. However, in Arizona, and this varies by state, if one party to the conversation knows that the conversation is being recorded, it is not illegal. Thus, if someone tape records a phone call or conversation involving him/herself and another person, even one who is unaware of being recorded, that's legal in Arizona. If the same person taps into a phone line and records a conversation between two people who are unaware they are being recorded, it is ILLEGAL. Arizona and federal law are similar in this respect; however, recording conversations is illegal in certain other states unless all parties know of the recording and consent.

You were at work, on their property, there may be something there as well. Do you have such a right to privacy at work, in a work/public setting?
