Should you warn them, about the fact that you're recording as well ?

Because, here, they warn you prior to live conversation, that they (they - small bis, goverment etc) will record.

Sounds bit silly tho, both sides warning each other and chat happily ever aftet.


Conversation in the office :

,, - Yo, John, the recording guy is calling, wanna take it ? (Big smile)
,, - Nah, send him to Susan, i heard that shes having a greaaat day " (Raises eyebrows)

The law in Canada is that if you are a party to a conversation you may record it. (Also public conversations) No notification is required.

I think this may also be the case in the USA.
(recall Trump claiming he recorded the conversation with the former FBI (?) head he fired?)

I know that futures brokers in the USA have always recorded all calls in the days you had one individual and never tell you about it. It was important for all trade disputes - where you are giving the order to a broker verbally - not entering it online.
 
Robin Hood Hackers Donate Stolen Money to 'Make the World a Better Place'

A mysterious cyberhacking group called "Robin Hood Hackers" is mysteriously donating their stolen money to charities. But why? The Darkside hackers, which claim to have looted around millions of dollars from companies, have been puzzling security researchers ever since they appeared.

In a post on the dark web, the gang posted receipts for $10,000 in Bitcoin donations to two charities.

One of them, Children International, says it will not be keeping the money

That's interesting, but I doubt it is the guys who hacked the Robinhood brokerage accounts. They are probably using the name "Robin Hood Hackers" as a historical and literary reference.

It depends upon the situation involving the recordings in Canada or recordings of a Canadian citizen.

You must have "express permission" from someone in the public conversation.

The law changes when the conversation is about you as in someone is talking / saying things about you. It's then consider to be a private conversation about you. You can then record the conversation without the knowledge and without the consent of the person talking about you even if they begin saying things about someone else that's not part of the conversation. For example, your ex-spouse calls you and starts saying bad things about you or say bad things about their business partner that's not part of the conversation...you can record the conversation without the other person knowing you're doing a recording.
  • In contrast, if its a business call or a call about a service...they must tell you that "this call may be recorded" even if the call is about your account and you can then decide to continue with the call or end it. Simply, they must notify you.
If its a criminal investigation in Canada...they can record you without your knowledge but they can not embed illegal listening devices in your home / on your property and then use the recordings against you in the court of law.

Another different situation...its legal to record a business meeting at your job without anyone's knowledge. Yet, you can still get "fired" from your job for doing that legal recording...fired because you violated your job's work ethics if such was stated in writing as a violation prior to your recording. You then decide to sue your job for firing you because your recording was legal...

You will lose the lawsuit because you violated employment ethics even though the recording was legal. Note: Most employers put issues involving recordings in writing. Those that don't...a judge will still rule in favour of the employer under some "assumption law" that you assumed it was a violation to record at work which is why you were secretive about the recording. :D

Simply, depending upon the above situations...recordings may be legal while other situations its illegal. Typically, to avoid any problems if confused about the law involving recordings...just notify the person or give the person a warning that the call may be recorded.

Its why whenever I call the U.S. embassy here in Canada...they tell me the call may be recorded. The same with my bank here in Canada. They tell me the call may be recorded.

If that person then decides to keep talking to you...you can record it. Remember this, if someone tells you that the call may be recorded...you can then also record the conversation too without any notification. :rolleyes:

Note. If the person you're talking to used a false identity...you can sue their ass if they recorded the conversation.
