Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

Re: illegal phone recording

You give no clue as to how exactly the unauthorized recording of your phone conversations occurred. A wiretap would obviously be illegal, However, if "Big Ears" merely had a recorder set up somewhere in his own

house to record whatever conversations may have come within its operational purview, I doubt that there would have been any illegality in that particular activity and hence no cause of action accruing to you against him.
