Never argue with an idiot, you can't reason with them.
If a tape recording is made between and official and a citizen, and it was not annouced that it was being recorded by another party will it hold up in court as evidence.?

Bull. Reality is, it will usually hurt like hell and leave you with a permanent limp.
Depends on conditions under which it was recorded, but , generally, yes it would be admissible evidence (ie: not an illegal wiretap)

You didn't say what kind of official but if this is a law enforcement matter the magic word is warrant. Many states have laws against one person recording another unless he (or she) is made aware of it in advance.

In some cases yes but it should be announced this is being recorded for traning purposes or if it was taped example Govt, Official it is most generally not taped if it was taped with out your knowlage it can be thrown out of court on a tecinallicalty as you are suppose to be told that it is being tapped, but in most cases it is not adnissable in a court of law so check with an attorney in your area for the correct interpation of your laws in your area.
