Does use of Pen violate 'Secret Recordings' /wiretap laws in your state?

I'm not a lawyer, but... There is also the issue of implied consent; often, this is reached by simply having the device out in the open for all parties to see. You are taking notes with the pen, and recording along with the notes. He may have to tell the teacher the pen is more than just a pen, but there is the "implied consent". Also, the laws are for protecting privacy, and often exclude public situations. I believe classrooms could be defined as a public situation. Lastly, these laws are only in place as to whether the recordings could be used in court. Unless the teacher confesses to a murder to a class, the recording likely wouldn't be used in court, thus rendering this law irrelevant.

Sorry no. Due to Federal Law, we do not carry any hidden cameras with audio.

If it is against the law to have one in that state they just might have a device to catch you with and if its not against the law like in my state I don,t care if they do know I have it.

Any Recording Machine manufactured after March(?) 2005 has copyright protection. Premium channels like HBO are broadcast with same. Mine recorded once and that was it: "copywrite protected" thereafter! Any machine made before then should be okay.

Negative. It's simply used to take notes and doodle. Can't draw or take notes and connect to another device.

Technically it's just paper, so if all you want is a reasonably nice notebook, you can write on them with anything. You just won't get the benefit of the pen's ability to record what you're writing.

Hello, US Law prohibits audio recording in covert/spy cameras. Video only.Thank you,Sleuth Electronics LLC

I'm not sure. I guess the only way to find out is to try it. Be sure to have paper toweling handy. I can only say I love the pen.

I don't think so if it's for your own personal use. It really all depends on what you're recording and for what purpose.

Nothing is recorded. It's a fake (dummy). It's to fool people into BELIEVING that you have a security system.

Well if they ask for a pen and you happen to have it on you, its a nice little surprise. When i first got it i would ask people to doodle something, if that didn't work i would poke em' with it.

Never tried doing that, probably, but do not know for sure. I am an author so I use it to record ideas as they come along. On a less serious note, I also like to record my talking parrot for fun. However, I have noticed that sometimes when I do put it in my bag or pocket, if it rubs against another object, it has erased or played back the recording. So it is quite sensitive that way. Hope this helps some.

I don't believe it can be used that way. It does have a pointer, but since I've only used it once last January for a presentation, I don't remember all the features. I don't recall reading any instructions with it that talks about it being used as a pen.

yes as long as the video is not copyrighted (like a purchased video/movie or wasn't recorded from a copyrighted channel) and still has the erase-protection tab. if the erase-protection tab is missing, putting a piece of tape over the open area works the same as if the tab was still in place

You'll have to ask a lawyer about that one - I'm sure there is 'expectation of privacy' issues, even where a fake camera in involved. Of all places, Amazon isn't the place to ask for legal advice :)

Yes, pens do work on all parts of these slips so you can manually record your transaction information without the aid of an imprinter.

No because the person operating the device has to listen using a headset plugged into the device and speak through a microphone plugged into the device as shown in the picture. The person on the other end most likely will not know you are recording them (which may be illegal depending on the state) but the person who is using the phone the device is paired to will.
