In view of the behaviour of this government do you think you would feel safer with your conversations and dealings with the various ministers recorded?

If mobile phone conversations can be recorded why not land line?.

Have you ever recorded telephone conversations or interviews for later review?

Notice that someone has hit the headlines today for doing just what the header suggests.

Not exactly a junior member of society! Oh dear, oh dear!!

Does anybody think that the Chief Constable thought the Attorney General and Charles Clarke were possible terrorists and therefore needed evidence for possible secret court proceedings?


What is it that the Big Boys have to hide from the rest of us mere mortals?

Is the state is allowed to spy on the public, but the public are nor allowed to know what the state is doing. Strange.

SO WHAT,S NEW/////????????

The point of law regarding the recording of telephone conversations was put forth on Teletext yesterday. Any individual can so do. If he keeps that recording to himself all is well.

Otherwise..............

Doing so, nobody else will know. So that is OK. 8-)

But with my memory I need to tape everything I apparently say, so I am told.

(Not recording for posterity but so I can be hung by it later.)

No, Frank, there is a finer distinction here.

Yes, "no one will know". However the key point is that you are doing something which is legal, as opposed to doing something illegal.

you can record yourself as much as you like, but for it to be admissable as evidence for/against you all parties must aware that said call is being recorded. if it was me talking with the govt. over a matter, like the chf constable, i think i would record the conversation too.
