The recorded conversation is generally legal. But you do get a copy. Have your lawyer file to collect all evidence of the prosecution.

For your info, see also "taping phone calls" on the main site-- WORLDLawDirect - Taping phone calls -- if you can't tape calls then you normally cannot tape conversations--if you can tape calls then check with your State Attorney General for the laws regarding in-person conversations--

Law enforcement does have other rights to tape if they have reasonable cause.
