Wiretap law / CIPA

State wiretap statutes (e.g., California's CIPA, Cal. Penal Code § 632) govern recording private communications and can carry criminal and civil penalties.

Wiretap laws criminalize recording or intercepting private communications without the required consent. California's CIPA (Penal Code § 632) is the most-cited example: it requires all-party consent and allows both criminal penalties and private civil suits. For AI agents that record by default, a missing recording disclosure in an all-party state is a real wiretap risk.
