Taping own call constitutes unlawful 'interception'
Article Abstract:
The Nevada Supreme Court rule, in Lane v. Allstate Insurance Co., that the state's wiretapping statute mandates all parties to a telephone call consent before a conversation can be legally recorded. Randy Lane claimed the statute did not apply to him because he had not 'intercepted' any calls but had recorded only calls to which he was a party. The Court disagreed and declared the recordings inadmissible.
