Try going to 2511(2)(D) of Title 18 like I mentioned in a previous comment. It says: <br /><br />It shall not be unlawful under this chapter for a person not acting under color of law to intercept a wire, oral, or electronic communication where such person is a party to the communication or where one of the parties to the communication has given prior consent to such interception unless such communication is intercepted for the purpose of committing any criminal or tortious act in violation of the Constitution or laws of the United States or of any State.<br /><br />So please, stop making up fictional law professors when you are losing an argument and go back to trolling the internet.Yadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01718757201177813584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-516155314784643420.post-40649682998736664512006-12-09T19:52:00.000-08:002006-12-09T19:52:00.000-08:00When this blog is pulled down you will know why......When this blog is pulled down you will know why....end of subject and comments.
