in ontario canada, can a person record your phone conversations without telling you and use them against you?

Question

for instance in a court of law?

Answer 1

No, if the court doesn't hear the other person saying "I am recording this is that ok?" and you saying "yes" They will throw it out.

Answer 2

From what I understand it depends largely on the situation, recording conversations is legal is a business environment (boss, co-workers, etc.) so long as it is about business, otherwise it cannot be submitted as evidence because it is an infringement of the right to privacy.

I'd need to know more details of the relationship before assuming and making more conclusions though.

Answer 3

No they cannot. It is illegal in Ontario to record any conversation whether via phone or not without the person's consent and/or a warrant.

Answer 4

I don't know about Canada but we don't need anything in the United States but a man named Bush who is still doing this and should be stopped. I was writing a email to my Physician on Yahoo letting her know my desire to have done about a continuing problem I was having. I signed my email and underneath a written message stated , "Just keep trying''. So , tell me where that came from if your emails are so private from others.

Answer 5

Not sure, laws differ. In Georiga you can record phone calls but not private convervsations, in Mississippi, you can do both without telling the other person your doing it. Any attorneys office can fill you in.
