Recording Phone Calls Can Help Prove Abuse

There are states, Missouri being one of them, where it is “one-party consent”. Which means only one party needs to consent to the recording; the second party does not need to consent or be informed that the conversation is being recorded.

Your state may differ. Check the regulations of your state.

I’m a big believer in making recordings. I worked for a private equity firm, it was a very good job aside from the fact that many of the partners and officers were sexually harassing me. Once I reported the claims of harassment, they began to retaliate against me. Of course all of these older and very wealthy men provided cover for one another. They thought they could simply lie their way out of it. What they didn’t realize is that I had recorded many of their illegal acts of retaliation.

It was irrefutable evidence. I held all of the cards.

Oregon is screwy. You cannot record someone without their permission unless it’s a phone call in which one person can give permission.

That being said, if you ever need to covertly record someone in Oregon, call someone you trust and have them record what happens in the call.

I think states that don’t allow you to record a conversation you’re a part of protects abusive people. It’s literally a felony to do so in some states. It’s actually disturbing how it can protect monsters. It’s federally legal to do so (one party consent) but other states have more restrictive laws; but for what purpose really?

Many states prohibit recording without knowledge and permission of both sides.

I suggest switching to text and emails, and, if possible, cutting off all verbal communication when dealing with abusers. This way you have a written evidence of harrassment and abuse.

I mean, can this still be useful for personal use. Even if you can't really use it as evidence, backtracking usually helps me spot things I would have missed.
