No, but it could still be dropped as evidence in court. Be careful, if you really want this person prosecuted, get the police and local D.A. to help!

In some states it's legal to record any conversation that you are a part of. Phone or otherwise. You aren't required by law to notify the other party. A wiretap, or a device setup to record when the target is unaware and the recording party is not directly involved with the conversations is, more than likely, in need of a legal sanction.

There are some states that it IS against the law to record someone without their knowledge. In which case you need to tell the person before you begin to record them.But there are others states where it is NOT against the law. You need to find out what's the law in your state. Because if it is against the law not only could you get in trouble but they will not accept it in the court even if the person confessed.

Recording a confession without consent is illegal under the law. It is an unlawful of gathering evidence under the criminal procedure.

Prevention is better than cure, but if the crime already have had happened, then it would be the duty of every good citizen just for the information but not to the court. From what I have heard, it is not illegal if not caught.

It depends on the state. Some states prohibit one-sided recordings, and because of those state laws, the recording would excluded even if taken by an individual.

It would depend on the state's law in which your in when your record. For instance you can record any conversation in Kentucky as long as one person that is being recorded has knowledge of the recording.....ie you.

Yes. It is what you call the fruit of the poisonous tree.
Moreover, the constitutional right against self-incrimination and the privacy of communication and correspondence are enough safeguards to prevent you from using it.
I know. It sucks.

Yes it's called Forceful Allegations
I don't think it should be against the law though
Just my opinion:
Oh well, now what are you going to do with that body in the cooler of you basement?
