Nope, not mixing them up at all.  Just reporting what Oregon has
in their statute.
Taping someone in your physical presence without their permission 
is illegal in Oregon, with some exception:  examples are; police officer 
in performance of their duty; meetings of _public_ bodies such as city 
council, news conferences, etc.  And as I said before, It _is_ part
of the wire tap statute.  The statute also included a prohibition
regarding cordless phones (now made academic by recent Federal regulations).
Notice that besides interception of wire communications they also put 
in radio transmissions and in person face-to-face recordings.
This face-to-face recording is for _clandistine_ recordings.  If
you have up a sign saying that the premises is being monitored by
electronic means then you probably would be safe.  Bear in mind I am
not a lawyer, and your mileage may very.
... I wish the buck stopped here!  I could use a few!
