What is the name of your state? Massachusetts.
I'm not sure what forum this belongs under.
Recently my stepchild (15) had a run in with the police that resulted in our taking his cell phone. We listened to the messages he had and some of them indicate drug use and what not. I wanted to record the messages onto the comptuer in order to keep a hold of them, but I wonder if that's illegal?
The phone is, technically, mine. I'm paying the plan that puts all the cell phones in use. Plus the messages are from other minors to mine, who is also a minor. Is it legal for me to record them? I don't plan to use them in any legal manor, more of a confrontation tool (although I realize that probably doesn't matter).
For that matter, there are pictures on his phone that show kids (not actually mine) smoking pot (or what I have to assume is pot). Can I download these as well?
Thanks.
