-> DA> I think I can audio-tape while standing on my front porch.  Same
-> with DA> video tape.  As long as I do it on my property, at least the
-> property DA> I am renting, I have every right to document what goes
-> on.
-> Like I said....check your state laws.  Illegal to tape record in
-> Oregon without the consent of all parties, with some exceptions:
-> public meetings being one.
Then a bunch of gangstas on the sidewalk would constitute a "public
meeting."
-> Remember that woman on the east coast that tape recorded a teen who
-> highjacked then killed her?  Believe it or not, in Oregon that tape
-> would have been illegally obtained.
->
-> Even more unusual, clandestine taping is part of the wiretap
-> statute.
I still think you are mixing up the taping of open-air discussions with
taping of conversations carried by wire.
