I didn't even know an eavesdropping charge could be filed if at least one party
engaged in the conversation knew it was being recorded.
Maybe in that state the law if both parties have to know.
Does this apply to everyone or just cops?
I can't see how I could make a case about someone video taping me talking out
loud in public. They'd have to plug their ears to not be eavesdropping.
