It depends on the exact situation in which the recording was carried out though usually No.

Florida operates an "all-party consent" to legally record someone. "All-party consent" meaning that all parties would have to give consent to being recorded.

However, there may be a situation were a recording has been made in a place where the recorded person or people had no hope of privacy, such as the recording being made from the sidewalk outside an open apartment block window.

If you were walking past recording yourself and happened to record some dodgy goings on in the background, that may be submittable.

If however, you purposefully went to a specific 'non-private' place in the knowledge that a person/people would be there, then you may have needed permission to record from that person/people for the recording it to be submittable.

It would be best to check with a Florida attorney before attemping to submit a recording.

Not usually in either a criminal or civil matter. But there are, as in almost every legal matter exceptions. If your state allows the recording of one person private conversations (very few do).

Is it legal to record a private conversation and use it in court Does right to privacy make recording inadmissible if taken place in residence?

This depends on the laws of your state. Some states are considered one party or two party consent states. By this, it's meaning that either one or two people in a private conversation must give consent for a recording to be taken. Assuming you were an original party to this private conversation, as opposed to an eavesdropping third party) and lived in a one party consent state, it may be admissible as evidence in a civil trial. Note, however, that this may not be true for all courts. Some judges may find it unconscionable to admit a secret recording as evidence, even in one party consent states. Also, it may not be admissible in other states due to evidentiary rules if the person whom you recorded had a reasonable expectation of privacy while on the phone. However, this would be the case if you were a third party, which a little insight into third party recordings is in the following. Now, in a two party consent state, the answer is no. This would not be admissible evidence. In fact, to attempt to admit this evidence by stating it's a recording in which you took of a call, you could find yourself under arrest for eavesdropping, which is a felony in most states. Secondly, if this were a recording made in which you were a third party, no matter a one or two party consent state, you could be subject to arrest for wiretapping and eavesdropping.
