I'm all for some privacy protections, but doesn't 2-party consent cover that particular use case already? In CA, it swings a bit far the other way, and if you have a hidden mic recording a business lying through their teeth with the intent to defraud you, you might have a little wiggle room, but the recording is likely to be thrown out of any civil actions (and some criminal actions).

In Kansas, we’re a 1-party consent state, which gets us back to the previous commenter.

Now pardon me while I scoot these potted flowers closer to you…

Don't you have to be party to the conversation to be 1-party? Should still be illegal to record one you're not a part of. (if such laws even apply in person rather than just over phones)

What's that, spider? move the flowers closer? Ok!

Such a recording can be used for parallel construction
