You still don't get it dude.

In public you can record video and voice without violation of any recording law.

So are so wraped up in the telephone recording law you can't see the light.

Well, you obviously didn't bother to read the page that I provided a link to in my last post. I guess I'll have to spell it out for you....

This is from that page:

*snip*
"It is a felony in Maryland to "wilfully" [sic] intercept, attempt to intercept, or have someone else intercept on one's behalf any wire, oral or electronic communication."

Note that it wire, oral OR electronic communication. It's you that "doesn't [or refuses to] see the light" here. The law is not restricted to telephone conversations; it includes face-to-face oral communications as well. Do you get it now ??? If it's not clear to you yet, here's more from the same source....

*snip*
""Oral communication" means any conversation or words spoken to or by any person "in private conversation." Maryland courts have read this definition to require a reasonable expectation of privacy in the circumstances of an intercepted oral communication in order for the communication to be protected under the statute."

It can't be much plainer than that. You are wrong.
