Why is it considered a criminal offence to record a conversation without consent?

It violates privacy laws
It is seen as unethical
It is a breach of trust
It is allowed in all circumstances

The correct answer is: It violates privacy laws

Recording a conversation without consent is considered a criminal offence because it violates privacy laws. When recording a conversation, you are capturing someone's private communication without their knowledge or permission. This goes against the basic right to privacy and can be seen as a violation of personal space. Options B and C may also be seen as valid reasons, but the main reason for the criminal offense is the violation of privacy laws. Option D is incorrect because there are certain circumstances where recording a conversation without consent is not allowed, such as in confidential or legal situations.
