Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 2907829, member: 44"] A warrant is less the issue than consent. The question is better stated as whether the speaker had a reasonable expectation of privacy. If so, you need "consent" to record the conversation. In most states anyone who is a party to the conversation can give that consent. That means that you can record a conversation that you are a party, in most states. Eleven states require the both (all?) parties to consent to recording a conversation. Pennsylvania is one of those states. An interesting question is whether a public figure speaking to a large group has an expectation of privacy in that conversation.* [SIZE=1]* The comments above are not legal advice should not be considered a substitute for a consultation with attorney. The reader relies upon them at their own risk and CL82 shall have no responsibility for any damages regarding them. CL82 makes no warranty regarding them other than that's what he found out when he used "The Google." The word Google is a licensed trade name. CL82 is not affiliated with Google or any other search engine, but uses them from time to time in accordance with various license agreements. Sometimes he "borrows" license agreement-like language and inserts them into posts. This is largely done for comedic effect.
