Is Killtown cornered?

I just listened to that phone call. I am curious, in Australia it is illegal to tape a phone conversation without the other parties prior consent. But I dont recall hearing that consent being given

Are such laws enpowered in the US?

There's some good discussion of this on another thread, starting here:

Basically, LashL is on the case:

Thanks, Arus. I'll definitely want the files when all is said and done. "Jeff" lives in northern Ontario, Canada. I'm a lawyer in southern Ontario, and I'll be interested in talking to his local Crown attorney about the cross-border issue re: surreptitiously taping a telephone call to Ms. McClatchey in PA.

I'm not sure if it's illegal for him to do so or not, given that the call presumably originated in Ontario, but I'm going to look into it.

This is the part that I have to look into, Arus. In Canada, the one party rule applies regarding taping telephone calls, and presumably the actual taping occurred in Ontario, so it may not be illegal for someone to tape a call here, no matter what jurisdiction the call is placed to. But I will find out very soon.

By the way, by "very soon" in this instance, I mean within a few days, not a few hours.

(Just in case you were wondering)

I've done quite a bit of cross-border litigation but not on the particular issue of the origin of telephone calls and which location has jurisdiction over them in this particular context (i.e. criminal rather than contractual, for instance), so I want to do some research, consult with colleagues, and come up with a comprehensive answer to the question of whether Jeff can be prosecuted here in Canada or whether the only judicial recourse for his actions are in PA courts. (If the latter, there are probably significant limitations to the practical application of the PA law despite the fact that PA courts would have jurisdiction over the offence). Anyway, I'll leave it at that for now, pending further research and consultation.

In other words, she's a person like me. I get in the lane I'm going to exit from as quickly as possible, even ten miles away.

Yeah, that's what I'm like as well. Twoofers, on the other hand, are in the left-hand lane until 10 feet from the exit, and then cut across 3 lanes of traffic, causing a 14-car pileup.

The idea that someone would be prepared is a totally foreign concept to them. No one would ever do that in the real world, since I never do it!
