  It's also specific to phone call recording. Nothing about recording the audio of someone talking outside your house.

  First-- this is a summary of statutes for recording phone calls; the laws are not always the same in each jurisdiction for making an audio recording in public. And we're in a thread where someone is describing a scenario where neighbor A records person B talking to child C. Neighbor A is not a party to the conversation. Whether a state has a one party or two party statute, this behavior would likely violate it.

    >> Whether a state has a one party or two party statute, this behavior would likely violate it. Fascinating. How does Ring get around this? Has no one tried to sue to force the issue?
    • mlyle 4y ago
      It might be hard to sue Ring; they'd claim they were not responsible for capturing a neighbor conversation and it's intended for use on your own property. And to sue the neighbor, well, you'd have to know that they actually were capturing your conversation and feel like suing your neighbor.

  The neighbor isn't a party to the conversation though?
