When is it illegal to voice recording device?
I just got a voice recording pen recently for my birthday and it's pretty good if you want to conceal it from other's. I just want to know if i could use it without ther person knowing that I'm recording. Also someone told me that it is illegal in some states and my second question is if it is legal in California?
It is illegal in California to record any confidential communication without the consent of EVERYBODY involved in the communication.

I think its legal as long as one person knows they are being recorded.

As I understand the law, you cannot record anyone without informing the person they are being recorded.
Err on the side of caution, and keep your recording pen switched off.
