in ontario ca.-- can someone record your cell phone without telling you and use as evidense in a court of law?

Answer 1

If this is Ontario, California, rather than Ontario, Canada, the answer is "no." It is illegal for any person to record a confidential telephone conversation without the consent of ALL the participants. (In some jurisdictions, the consent of one is sufficient. That is NOT the law in California.) Recordings made in violation of this law are not admissible in court. (Cal. Pen. Code section 632.)

Answer 2

A private individual can do this as long as they are a participant in the conversation. If they record two people talking and neither person knows they are being recorded, than no. You can record your own conversations with people though and use them as evidence in court.

If it's the police and they have a warrant that's a different story though. I don't know what that story is but I'm sure it's different!

This info holds up!! notwithstanding, it isn't criminal to tap right into a persons'' telephone line and tape them or pay interest in. it remains unlawful in Ontario and all of Canada. this isn't the US!!!
