- MM| Quick question:
- |
- | Is it legal in NY to listen to portable phone (as in
- | cordless, NOT cellular) conversations over a scanner??
-
- Good question... I believe that the privacy issues in NY deal
- primarily
- with =wired= telephones and have never been updated with technology.
- That being the case, the US Supreme Court ruling would hold -- in
- other
- words, yes it is legal to listen to cordless telephones.
-
- However, NY law requires that if you make a tape recording of the
- conversation, at least ONE of the participants must know that the call
- is being recorded...
-
- And since this is OFF-TOPIC, I'll not say anything more...
