A retail store is not a public place, it is private property.

Greetings.

That shared, i am now somewhat uninformed/ignorant of US laws regarding
audio recordings. (Yes, i could RTFM and google the laws, but i
consider this list a good resource.) I was told by several individuals
that it is illegal to record audio in a public place, ie a retail store.
I was also told that in order to legally record audio, a signature
approving the recording was necessary, before any recordings take place.

This now has me quite concerned, as several of my clients are recording
video, audio, and one guy i talked with said he was recording onto a PC
every time his IR detectors get a hit (for traffic flow he says).
Should anything ever require they provide their recordings to
police/courts, it would be a shame to let the perps walk on a
technicality such as the audio recordings are "illegal." Even worse, if
the perp then turns around and sues my clients for "illegally" recording
them sans any authorization!
