What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
My 5 year old Daughter is a victim of Slander from a grown adult. She is making tons of very hurtful and false allegations and has even convinced some gullible adults to kick her out of a city activity by the director of the company she works for.
We do have a recording of the conversation my wife had with this woman. My wife placed her phone on the table in front of the lady... but did not tell her it was recording.
I know it is not legal in California to record a private conversation if all parties are not aware. But in this case it was in a Starbucks with many other people that were there.
Would we legally be able to use something like this in court to prove Slander and threats?
Edit: Also... this was not inside Starbucks. This was outside at a table. They did not have to enter starbucks. It was at a table outside next to the parking lot. People were able to walk by and it was not behind closed doors.
