There’s nothing I saw in the article to confirm that he did, in fact, violate the law. In many states, one party’s knowledge of the recording makes it legal. Perhaps Florida law does too. This “journalist” didn’t bother to provide that information.
I just noticed that there’s also no indication of his location when he made the call. Interstate calls may be subject to federal rather than either state’s laws.
Bob, that’s obviously a reasoned point. I’m taking the reporters report on face value. If he’s got his facts wrong, that’s good for the guy on our side.
