Just look up NYS penal codes. Pretty sure that what you are trying to do is illegal as it still falls under the wiretapping laws. However on cell phones your right to privacy is limited where if you wanted to you could walk up to anybody in a public place and record what they are saying, however it’s illegal to record the other party because they do not know you are doing such act. That’s why when you call places they have to tell you if the call is being recorded. This is a terrible idea, but if you really want to attempt this why wouldn’t you just ask a lawyer seeing how they would know a lot more about covering your ass. ---

This is a terrible idea, but if you really want to attempt this why wouldn’t you just ask a lawyer seeing how they would know a lot more about covering your ass. It depends on the state of both parties and the phone, purpose, etc. There is A LOT OF LAWS ABOUT THIS THAT CHANGE IN EVERY SITUATION! For example, if I am calling you from California and you live in NY, I don’t need to tell you shit about it being recorded becuase federal laws say that one party needs to know about the recording and since I am making the call, that is me. Again, without knowing the people involved, their status (employee/family/friend), the phone owner (is it a business phone given to someone) you can not get an answer on here. People think they are immune to monitoring and wiretapping on the data and voice side but you are actually watched quite a bit in a lot of cases.
