    Any of them that are located in certain states that require upfront notification would be in violation. In addition failure to notify would also be a problem if the driver was located in a state that required it during the phone conversation.

    I really doubt a company would be willing to run risk of violating the laws. Besides, most of the dispatchers are not always wanting to send info on loads on the qualcomm and will do the pushing on the phone.

    Since my dispatch is located in Illinois, you can bet if I find out, there will be problems for them. Illinois it is the law.

    Hmm ... I'm thinking of making a sticker to go on my vent window, right next to the annual inspection sticker:
    Please be advised that any conversations or interactions with the driver of this vehicle may be subject to audio and/or video recording.​

    I concur, it is extremely unlikely a company would risk it. After all, the higher ups would be liable if they were...(ie company owners/CEO's etc...)

    They may keep track of outgoing calls... To deter some dispatcher from calling his girlfriend on her trip to Vegas every hour on the company dime.... but they wouldn't record them.

    However, audio recording calls(without notification) could lead to a possible 'Watergate' scenario for the powers that be within a larger company.

    It is NOT illegal to video/audio record something and/or someone in PUBLIC.

    Wire taps, each state has its own laws

    But public videoing is legal
    Heck in the case of the media, taking pictures of stars topless in there own back yards with a fence
    The conclusion is even then they are not to expect total privacy via helicopter

    o.k., with regards to recording phone conversations only;

    all states are 1 party of the conversation must know lawed, (ie.; if you are one of the people talking, then you can record it- otherwise the police of course still need a warrent to easdrop and record a conversation they are not a part of);

    -except these states- BOTH parties must know;

    "The 12 states which definitely require all parties to a conversation to consent before it can be recorded are: California, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington.

    In California, there is an exception. You can record a conversation with the consent of only one party if certain criminal activity (kidnapping, extortion, bribery or a violent felony) is involved"

    -that doesn't awnser what I'm wanting to know for sure....but it might help other debates.

    yeah, the article I read earlier was saying the same thing.
    they asked two questions to make sure it was legal, and one was "can it be viewed from public airspace?"
