Linda’s taped calls had an added complexity if I recall, she was taping phone calls (not a personal encounter) AND there was a squabble that she was in a locale that permitted citizens to tape a call without disclosing it to the other participant while Monica was not.
Some places only require that one of the persons need to know that the call is being recorded.
Yeah, I knew that on Tripp. But for calls, conversations or otherwise, the point is that states do often have laws that control them with regard to one or both party’s knowledge.
The key thing here I think is the law trying to legitimize evidence collected as a result of those encounters.
