Although such videotaping – without sound – may not be illegal in many states, it’s likewise ethically dubious, and hardly a good solution to the problem of date rapes, and of students who may be wrongful accused of such actions and/or denied basic procedural protections in the campus proceedings determining guilt or innocence.
Videotaping is "ethically dubious" but falsely accusing a man of rape isn't?
If anything you can say that it is a good solution to the problem of date rapes because it proves that even when an accusation is leveled, a crime may not have happened.
I'm for recording but videotaping someone without their consent is still illegal & punishable by imprisonment in most states.
Vast majority of states are 1 party consent.
12 are all party consent

California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
If you want to check your specific state,

EX -
For WA State - Wash. Rev. Code Ann. §9.73.030(1)(a)

It's not likely that you'll be accused of false rape, cleared of the rape charge because of the video, and then charged with video taping.
Unless you're R.Kelly and the girl is underage. And even he beat the case.
