My question involves civil rights in the State of: New Jersey
I'm wondering if it's legal to record a conversation with a person, who is shopping in a retail store, without that person's permission (whereas the other party knew). The camera was not hidden in any way. This recording was done in the aisles (what I would certainly find to be a public area of the store), and based on preliminary web searching, seems to be strictly legal.
I understand that this is private property so the owner can ask me to stop recording/leave, and then I can face trespassing charges if I don't comply, but what about the legality of just recording?
Finally, I understand that legality and acceptability/decent human behavior are two separate issues.
Thanks.
