In the US, there's one-party and two-party (all-party) consent states. In one-party, only one person must be aware the conversation is being recorded. In two-party, everyone needs to be aware. Massachusetts is a two-party consent state with a catch, the recording must be 'secret.' Massachusetts is pretty stringent, and as it's very apparent that Nenshi didn't know he was being recorded, it would probably be ruled against the driver but the driver certainly has a case that it was not a secret recording if the camera was obvious and moreso if it had led lights indicating it. Would be pretty grey.
