"You claimed there were -- as your remembered reading -- a whole lot of cases where people were prosecuted for recording THEIR OWN phone calls. You haven't -- and frankly cannot -- back that up.

You are a liar. I made no such claim. I posted what I actually said and refuted this BS you're spewing as false, yet you still repeat it. You are demanding that I back up your lie about what I never said in the first place, which is simply assinine.

"Now you also seem to be taking Chief "White-Van" Moose as some sort of authority....

Who wrote the legal opinion is irrelevant. It is a listed legal opinion from the Attorney General's office. It may be used as a legal argument in state court in matters covered by under opinion. I do not say it's authoritative; the state judiciary says the AG's official legal opinions are authoritative, and accepts them as such. Anyone with a tiny clue how the judiciary works would know this. Try citing a webpage from an unqualified person like Mr. Woods in court, and see what it gets you. Your ignorance is showing....

"....yet even that quote does NOT contradict the well-thought, well- researched legal analysis by Mr. Woods."

Apparently, you suffer from a reading disability (or mere stupidity). From Mr. Wood's page:

"But, one thing I am certain of now is that an "interception" of a communication is NOT the same thing as a "recording" of a communication."

From the Attorney General's legal opinion:

"The Wiretap Act defines "intercept" to mean "the aural or other acquisition of the contents of any wire, electronic, or oral communication through the use of any electronic, mechanical, or other device."
---

Recording is most certainly "acquisition of the contents of [an].... oral communication through the use of any electronic, mechanical, or other device". You are clearly wrong on this point, and refuse to admit it. You dance around it by trying to place a "half-baked interpretation" of legislative intent and caselaw by a nobody from a netpage as a higher authority than an official legal opinion by the Attorney General's office, which clearly shows your FoS. Whether you admit your error or not is irrelevant, as anyone reading this thread can see the truth of the matter.

Since you cannot read & comprehend simple English language sentences, and lie about what I've said, we have no common ground for an intellegent or meaningful debate. So piss off.
