Also, if the police had not been involved in the phone call or the recording, it would have been perfectly legal and admissible in a court for that recording to come in. Colorado is a one-party state and therefore the person being called does not have to be advised that the call is being recorded. California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington are the only two party states in the US. All other states allow you to record phone calls without informing the other party. ALSO if you are calling someone in one of these states from a one party state, it is best to observe the two party law. There is only one case that I am aware of and it is a California case. But I would err on the side of the two party consent law state. Also, the fed only requires that one party consent to the recording of the phone call unless recorded with a valid warrant allowing for a wiretap. 18 U.S.C. Sec. 2511(2)(d). One more exception is the business telephone exception, your employer is allowed to record ALL your phone calls on phones they provide without notifying you.
Wow tangent alert. Sorry, guess what I was trying to say is that the Greely police fucked the pooch on this one. Someone should have "suggested" to her that she go home and call him and record. Then he would have been fucked.
Soc- Not familiar with this particular case, but I agree the Greeley police fucked up in being a party to the recording. Not surprising knowing the quality of cops there (or at least how much the Denver DA's office and Denver PD mock them). Question from the legal side of this Soc... is there any reason he wouldn't have prosecuted other than he didn't think he could win the case?
for Darla... I am not familiar with this case but obviously Buck is a potential Senator that would be representing me. Bennet lied to me and thus he will not have my support. Do you know if Buck had other evidence in this case to get a conviction that he ignored?
