Tape recording anybody without their knowledge to use against them for any reason is called "entrapment" and cannot be used for legal purposes.
Never a good idea.

Keeping journals of what happened, who was there, the date, etc... That also helps tremendously. Unfortunately, getting people to back you up, in most cases, will not happen! As I said before, it is on YOU to prove that it did indeed happen. They are obviously going to deny it... Photos are also relevant in some cases, depending upon what occurred! Yes I do agree that any and all of this information can be used to help them back down. Afterwards, however, retaliation can be a factor! Then it becomes a matter of watching your back! That, in itself can be extremely stressful!
