Can I Record FBI Agents

Can I Record FBI Agents

Depends on your state’s recording laws. Federal law allows recording conversations you’re party to (one-party consent). Some states require all-party consent. Recording FBI agents during voluntary interviews is legal under federal law but may complicate interaction. Agents typically don’t consent to recordings and may terminate interview if you insist on recording. Better approach: decline to speak without attorney, let attorney handle all agent communications. Federal criminal system is complex with life-altering consequences. Understanding your options and having experienced representation makes critical difference in outcomes.
