Recording Teenage Phone Conversation

[Richro65]

And you here are also a criminal. Rather than going after him, deal with your daughter. Seriously. Turn your attention from HIM to her.

I appreciate your response but I don't need to be chastised by you. Short of quitting my job and either grounding her for life or following her everywhere she goes, I'm doing all I can with no help from her deadbeat father.

Anywhere near a Boys & Girls' Club? They'll 'babysit' children until they are 18 after school.

MINORS CANNOT CONSENT. Won't work. Illegal. You cannot legally tap a phone. Can't do it.

"Vicarious consent" could apply in this case.

Not. With. Minors.

Vicarious consent....that's what I was wondering about in the first place. Thanks for the information. The only question is what Wisconsin's laws are regarding that. The website with state specific information on phone recording doesn't say one way or the other. I'll have to see what else I can find on that.

You can NOT consent to the illegal and make it legal. Even if.

Did you read the links that positronix posted? I'm not saying that it applies to my state but in those cases the courts DID allow recorded conversation to be brought into evidence using the vicarious consent law.

It is NOT allowed in Wisconsin. Try again. Even with Vicarious Consent you cannot use it for law purposes.

According to your link, no, "Vicarious Consent" recordings cannot be used as evidence in court. But they are NOT unlawful, and could be used by police to investigate and develop further evidence. So it seems that if police interrogate a suspect based on such a recording, and the suspect confesses, then the confession is admissible.

The OP has not committed any crime. I see nothing wrong with continuing recording.

What's your legal background?

No they cannot be used by the police. The police NEED a warrant to wiretap. And if you notice the facts of that case -- that was done to protect a minor with Down Syndrome -- who was handicapped. OPs child is NOT handicapped. That is a major difference.

Did you even notice that those laws don't pertain to your state??? They're as useful as a condom with giant holes poked in them.
