Is it illegal to record someone without them knowing?

i want to confront someone about a certain issue but they are known for twisting words around so that this certain person is a victim. i want to record them so that i KNOW they cant twist things (i am planning to show others if they do change what i said when talking to others.... if that heps)

also, i live in missouriIs it illegal to record someone without them knowing?
Check your state law regarding surreptitious recordings. In the state of Montana it is legal to make a secret recording as long as at least one person being recorded knows that recording is in progress. So, in your case, the fact that you know you are making a recording, makes it perfectly legal. Not all jurisdictions are the same. Good luck.

No it isn't illegal unless you try and use it in court and they will not allow it unless you tell that person that you are going to record them or if it is put on a answering machine or voice mail.

But just for you to use to prove they are lying or not telling the truth there isn't anything wrong with doing it.

yes it illegal you must tell them you are going to record this conversation otherwise its against the law. same way when you call the gas company and they say this conversation will be recorded for billing purposes only, so yes it's illegal
It depends on the state law. In some states, it is acceptable as long as one party in the conversation knows about the recording.
