Some events may restrict ARENA access to members of the DRIVE TEAM.

Laws regarding recording of conversations vary state-to-state and country-to country, and, in some cases, recording without consent may be criminal. Introducing the idea of recording a conversation with an implied reason of proving someone’s error can escalate a discussion and is likely to increase its adversarial nature. Sometimes it’s appropriate; often it’s neither appropriate nor constructive.

Please do not record FIRST event staff, or anyone at an event, without the person’s consent and please do not challenge the decision to decline consent to be recorded. FIRST event staff are empowered to excuse themselves from an interaction in which they are being recorded after declining consent.
