I'm not looking for the info itself, but a link to a decent FAQ or
two. *Search engines are providing me with a volcano of info, but no

If anyone knows a source for basic information and/or a usenet group
that discusses this sort of thing, please let me know.

Thanks.


Without you disclosing your location it is not possible to give you
advice which would be legal in all 50 states...

It is just fine to record video if you post a sign, but when you
include
audio in your recording several states consider that wiretapping and
it is highly illegal...

Best of luck...
