Which part of "It is a felony" isn't clear?DeeCee said:
oh boy - lots to read! LOL Can it simply be played to the lawyer although not admissible in court?
In some cases, the party was told they were being taped. In most cases, it's a 5 1/2 year old child in the middle of his parent's fight for custody, , simply taping his emotions/reactions.
Thanks for your response!!
If the party was told they were being taped, that isn't illegal. If you taped your child talking about how he/she feels that isn't illegal either. Any tapes made without the party's knowledge would be illegal and you should destroy those tapes. However, if you were a party to the conversation, then you can listen to them to refresh your memory of the conversation and document the important items.DeeCee said:
