Re: taping without permission
Not as long as the party taping the conversation is a party involved in the conversation.
Should you like to discuss this or any other legal matter, you can e-mail me for more information about low cost face-to-face, on-line, or a telephone consultation with a lawyer in our office.
Re: taping without permission
The fourth amendment, and its progeny were designed to protect citizens from state and federal agents. Thus, if the taping was done by a privite citizen your best recourse would be to bring a civil action for invasion of privacy. However, if your claim does not meet the requirements for invasion of privacy in NY you will not be successful.
