    Default Recording a Meeting Without Consent

    My question involves personal property located in the State of: WA

    I didn't know what category to place this question in. 'ownership rights' seemed valid for lack of a perfect fit.

    My question is around recording a meeting for notes purposes. Can I record a meeting strictly for my own benefit without having to ask or advise whomever I'm meeting with? Nobody would ever hear it or be privy to it. Again, it would only be for my own benefit in getting all the details when transcribing to notes later. If I didn't use this approach, I'd be forced to write fast and when writing that fast, I have a legibility issue later on so typing my notes as I would transcribe later would be preferable. TIA

    Washington is a two-party consent state. Here read this.

    Thanks, I think that's unfortunate given the situation. A, it's pretty technical information being relayed in the meeting and B, the recording would be for one's own edification and then erased. Thanks again...

    If your purpose is as innocent as you make it out to be, just ask for permission to record the meeting.

    And if that person says no for some reason, then you don't.
