Check your yellow pages and look for the local spy gear shop. You'll be surprised when you see the selection of tiny hidden recording devices you can buy.

That may be true, but what good would that money you just spent do you? You certainly don't dare try using the "secret" recordings during any kind of appeal process involving the VA, unless you wish to become more familiar with the Office of General Counsel, DeptofThe VA..........

Yeah, for purposes of legality you have to check locally.

I believe in Portland/Oregon you can record telephone conversations where only one party is aware of the recording, but in-person conversations may not be secretly recorded.

Of course- everyone obeys The Law subjectively & might find reason to have a recording that won't be admissible in court, but could convince others in The Process.

Your call ;)

Only problem with your premise is this:

Once you step foot onto the VA property, then "for purposes of legality" you might as well be standing in the Oval Office as far as the law is concerned.

You are on U.S. Government Property and "local" don't mean diddly. Federal law prevails.

Oh- good point, Larry

I'm just so much less-concerned about laws & rules that don't serve the common man. It might not be gracious to pass on this attitude to my fellow vets.
