Privacy laws-how can i stop my ex recording me?

Can you please tell me if there are any laws out there that I can have my ex-husband charged with?
I have just found out that he is taping my conversations in the house in the hope that he can get some incriminating evidence against me. What should I do?

Can you tell me if my ex-husband is breaking any laws?
I've just found out that he is taping my conversations in the house. He has a key as he takes the kids to school whilst I am at work, and he must have set a recording device up in the house whilst I was out.

Speak to the police about this situation. In the mean time visit your library and find some books on law an order.

That's messed up.
He's taping you so that if you go to court over the divorce this is his evidence or something.
I just got a divorce and nothing like that happened either way.
but then I know this air force girl and there were lawyers and guns and threats and this thing with a case of a clairvoyant puppy and that and the air force and him and a clairvoyant puppy and you get my drift.
If he is your EX-husband you shouldn't be living with him anymore probably and he is probably trying to set you up.
leave fast

In most states it is a crime to record a conversation that you are not involved in. A third person cannot tape a conversation between other unknowing persons. How does he have access to your phone line or telephone? Is he illegally trespassing -- you can start there with the local police if he is.

Those recordings cannot be used in court- as they were obtained illegally- get a restraining order against him - harass him back


Icewomanblockstheshot
This is absolutely illegal, everywhere. Call your local police, or see an attorney. Anything he gets isinadmissable in court, but can be embarrassing.

different countries have different rules & laws governing this, (& even different juristictions within a country may vary). Unless you specify where you are, the answers you receive will be conflicting, or even plain wrong - try editing your question giving your country


Annie
There isn't anything he can do with the information he has recorded. In most states it would be inadmissable in a court of law since he didn't have your permission to be taped. What he is doing is illegal anyway. I would consult an attorney on this. You might also unscrew the mouth-peice of your phone to see if he has installed a listening device. This is probably just an idle threat that he wants to plant in your head. Meanwhile, he's probably getting his information from the kids or sone other source.

Oh yes there are laws. You just have to have proof but you can do it and you better.

In the UK the police wouldnt be intrested if you reported this,if you dont like it change the locks and keep him out.Sorry to be harsh but a lot of answers given are for the USA if you live there okay but if you live in UK then I suggest you inform your solicitor who may be able to frighten him with an official letter and warning of civil action.

you need to take legal advice but he may be beaching the Data protection act . I suspect that is the least of your problems though , Also you may be able to get an injunction against him if you have been or feel threatened by his behaviour ,as i say get legal advice urgently


daria
He is breaking the privacy laws if you are inyour own home. You need to call the police and it may even constitute stalking. Go do it now.

Scour the house, find everything he might have left or set up, gather it all up and throw it in the bin. Offer no explanation, if he asks you about it, tell him you don't know what he's talking about - he's hardly likely to mention it, but he'll know he's caught. Do regular sweeps on the house every week in case he tries again.

Change the arrangement for the kids going to school - get someone else to do it. Change the locks, he shouldn't have access to your house anyway. Tell him you no longer want him coming into your house when you're not there - he'll know why.

Good luck, how sneaky is that?!

i suggest u call police, they will tell you how you stand on this.


madmoo0
does he live with you? if not have him charged!! Cheeky git. i'd do a bobbit on him


sirjulian
I think that he is breaching the Wireless and Telegraphy Act, which could give rise to criminal prosecution. The recording of conversations has to be previously agreed by all parties.

Best wishes, J


Labyrinth
Use your mobile. But on the other hand I do believe you have reason to sue your ex-husband giving the fact that you have found supporting evidence. However you will need to confront your husband and ask him why he is doing this, RECORD that conversation so that you have proof that in his own words he has been recording you. Once you have this then present it to the police. It is an invasion of privacy. Contact the police once you have all the evidence you need.

Good luck.

It depends on what state you live in. What he did may not have even been illegal... Recording a conversation in itself isn't a crime. But, if you live in what is considered a 2-party state, all or both parties of the conversation must be aware that it is being recorded. If you live in a 1-party state, only one person has to know that it's being recorded. If he was recording conversations that you were having with other people and they didn't know, that is definitely a crime. It would probably be hard to get the police to do much, so you would have to contact an attorney if what he did was illegal.


tony
stop taking or see him the best thing.and is illegal recording somebody with out him now .you have too find some evidence and call the coops.you can charge him for discrimination and for privacy.good luck.


vdv_desantnik
RECORDING YOUR VOICE WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION IS A BIG NO-NO WHETHER ITS ON PUBLIC OR PRIVATE LAND. GO TO THE POLICE AND HE CAN BE DONE FOR BREACH OF PRIVACY AND HARASSMENT AND HE CAN GET LOCKED UP FOR IT
