MOORE, Judge.

This is an appeal which concerns the admissibility of a ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‍tape recorded conversation of appellant and a co-defendant made without their knowledge while they were confined in a police car. Appellant and ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‍his co-defendant were arrested on a charge of burglary and placed in a police vehicle. Unbeknown to the appellant and his co-defendant ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‍was the fact that their conversation was being recorded without their express permission.

The facts of this case are identical to those which ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‍this court considered in Brown v. State, 349 So.2d 1196 (Fla. 4th DCA 1977), wherein we affirmed the admission of such a tape recording. Accordingly, ‍​‌‌​‌‌​‌​‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌​‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌​‌‌‌‌‌​​​‌​​​​‌​‌‌‌‌​​​​‌​​​‌​‌​‍the judgment and sentence imposed herein are

AFFIRMED.
