Recording
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 86-290 — one party to a conversation may record it
One party is enough. It is not unlawful for a person not acting under color of law to intercept a wire, electronic or oral communication when that person is a party to it, or when one of the parties has given prior consent, unless it is intercepted to commit a criminal or tortious act.
Intentionally intercepting a communication without that consent, or using a device to intercept an oral communication, is generally a Class IV felony.
A person whose communication is intercepted, disclosed or intentionally used in violation of the act may sue for appropriate relief, including damages and reasonable attorney's fees.
Federal law and the rules of a particular place, such as a courtroom, set their own limits. A particular recording is a question for a licensed Nebraska attorney.
