If they know of it yes.

...otherwise we normally recommend you check with your state attorney general's office or the local police dept. before taping--See also "taping phone calls" on our site-- http://www.worldlawdirect.com/article/1042 -- 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--
