Yes, state laws are in conflict with federal laws on this. My father lost his private investigators license and therefore livelihood on a very similar case. He taped the phone calls of his security guards to make sure they were not tying up the security phones with private calls. Totally legal in Illinois, but they charged him in federal court where it is illegal unbeknownst to him. An example of how reading state laws can mislead you.

While the president suggested on Saturday that Mr. Cohen’s recording may have been illegal, New York law allows one party to a conversation to tape it without the other knowing. Over the years, Mr. Cohen, in his dealings on Mr. Trump’s behalf with journalists, opposing lawyers and business adversaries, frequently taped his conversations, unbeknown to the people with whom he was speaking. Mr. Trump himself also has a history of recording phone calls and conversations.

I dream of the United Citystates of Earth, where each Citystate has a standardized border such as one whole degree of Latitude by one whole degree of Longitude.
