Ruling, Indictment Nolle Prosequi At Request Of The State, May 31, 2000
Seems its actually quite hard to prosecute sucessfully against a personal tapeing of one's own phone call in Maryland.

So you characterize the enforcement of this statute in Maryland on the basis of one extremely atypical case, which you admit was totally politcally motivated? Your 'logic' is laughable. As for the Tripp case....
OS, in post # 177:
"I remember seeing in the many articles about Linda Tripp violating the telephone clause of the Maryland wiretap statute when she taped Monica Lewinsky that there had been vigorous enforcement of that statute in the past, except where it was violated by law enforcement personnel (no surprise there).
I was merely referring to information contained in news articles generated by the Tripp case; I did not cite the Tripp case as evidence of anything. Again, you have failed to offer any meaningful evidence to support your claims.
I would also point out here that the subject is hand is the audiotaping of a police in your home or on your private property (by you or your neighbors), and legalities involved in such an action. Talking about "personal tapeing [sic] of one's own phone call" is off-topic and irrelevent, as was ChicagoFarmer's incoherent rambling about taping "voices in his office". I only responded to CF because the legal advise he was giving was not only wrong; it was dangerous.
