What is the name of your state? Colorado
Regarding one/both party consent to record phone conversations:
Many companies have that obnoxious recorded "greeting" when they answer your call which includes a version of :
"This call may be monitored or recorded for training purposes and to insure better service,yakity yak.."
My question is how does that recorded greeting affect "consent".
Example 1: Colorado is one party consent. Calls within state between two parties can be taped by either party.
Example 2: I call from Colorado to another state that has both-party consent law. I get the goofy "notice of monitoring" company recording that plays upon answering prior to a live person talking. How does that qualify regarding consent status? Does that complete the two-party consent for them? What if I tell the live person that I do not consent to the recording when she answers after the recorded greeting?
Example 3: Same scenario only reversed. Company from 2-party consent state calls me in Colorado. Upon answering phone, I immediately say...Please be advised all calls to this number are recorded... Hello, this is (my name). This actually happened during some harrassing collection calls from a Creditor during a disputed charge.(which I won) Anyway a couple of those mental midgets went off on me about it being illegal for me to record them. I replied calmly that I record every call to my number and will continue. They eventually quit because of documentation I had, but I am curious how this would have played out if it went to court and I had the tapes.?
I am familiar with the basic consent laws and tendency to favor law in the two-party state,etc. My curiousity is focused on those recorded messages companies play before they answer.?
