Laugh all you want, i am correct, it's illegal to record a conversation without consent (even in a public place) however recording just video is ok as long as it does not invade someones reasonable expectation of privacy.

Now if you are holding a video camera and recording someone talking and they see you or are performing or something of that nature, that is a different story.

But say if you were to have a surveillance camera in an elevator or in a parking garage and also record peoples conversations without them knowing, you are breaking the law in most states.
