Mainly just Maryland. It's all about how the particular DA reads it.

There is a case in Illinois right now as well, but those two states are the only two I'm aware of that have been maliciously prosecuting people for audio recording police.

In the end, if you are able to record the TSA, police, etc because you are in a public space, then I have nothing against them recording us. It has to go both ways.
