 In general you can audio or video tape anything anywhere, subject to
 restriction by a property owner if you are on his property.
 The mainest restrictions are going to come on the use of such tapes.
 you can't use a recognizable image of a person or property in a
 commercial enterprise without the owner's permission, and the tapes
 may or may not be admissable as evidence in a court proceeding.
 But of course, as we've seen in the case of the car-jacked teacher in
 New Jersey, it helps to identify the perpetrator when they find your
 body...
