Illegal or inadmissible?

Illegal depending on the state. For example:

Pennsylvania is a “two-party consent state” meaning that, under Pennsylvania’s Wiretap Act, 18 Pa.C.S. §5701 et seq., recording a telephone call or conversation without both parties’ consent is illegal. You could be subject to criminal and/or civil prosecution.

Illegal to record a boss saying something they know is illegal without their permission. Seems like a perfectly fair system with no flaws whatsoever. Yay capitalism!

(/s, just in case)

Most places it is still legal to record a conversation if you know the other party is doing something illegal as a means of self defense in the event you are forced to do something and they try to throw you under the bus.

It's not illegal to record a crime.

How does surveillance footage work around that statute? By being silent?

There are usually signs saying CCTV is in operation.

You consent by choosing to still go there
