X2 - you can record anything that one would reasonably expect to be heard in a public place. In your bathroom ... No. Outside where anyone would reasonably hear it during normal conversation... No problem. I'm surprised Don Sterling hasn't sued the pants of those who recorded his "private" conversations.
You can record a private conversation if you are one of the parties involved in the conversation. Only one of the parties needs to OK it.
Sterling's girlfriend recorded their conversation between them so his permission was not needed.
Varies by state. It may also be illegal to publicly release a recorded conversation without consent of all parties. Again, check local state laws. In either event, law enforcement will not get involved. It would be a civil tort.
