Note that this may very well violate certain state wiretap laws that require two party consent.
- criddell 9y agoHow is it any different from an intercom system?
- gist 9y agoAn intercom in theory makes a sound when it is listening in or starts to work when the party on the other end presses a button. See this with regard to evesdropping: "New York makes it a crime to record to record or eavesdrop on an in-person or telephone conversation unless one party to the conversation consents. " http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/new-york-recording-law http://www.dmlp.org/legal-guide/new-york-recording-law Do I think anyone would be prosecuted? No but the way I read it it's a violation of the law.
- jpindar 9y agoI hope that means deliberate eavesdropping. The street that runs right outside my window is frequently used by people walking home from the bars, and drunk people don't notice how loud they're talking. I've overheard some strange (and sometimes very personal) conversations.
