Recording Someone Without Consent in Georgia: Is it Illegal?

## Direct Answer
In Georgia, it is generally legal to record a conversation as long as one party consents to the recording. This is known as a “one-party consent” law, which means that you can record a conversation if you are a part of it. However, if you are not a part of the conversation and you record it without the consent of at least one party, it may be considered illegal.
