Dentzler Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 A 'mole' has voice recorded some very incriminating evidence which categorically proves what we suspected the perpetrator has succeeded in and planned more of. Can unwittingly recorded meetings ever be used as incriminating evidence? What legal implications are there? Or should we just go straight to the press and let them deal with it?

Electerrific Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 I thought it was deemed illegal to record someone without their prior knowledge of it. Like Entrapment or something? Isn't that why we get disclaimers when 'phoning companies, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfox Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 It's not a question of illegality it's more whether the recording could be used as evidence before a court. Not enough detail for me to judge it's all a bit clandestine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 If there were any question as to admissibility of such evidence, the investigators who continually follow my seriously injured clients, hoping to catch and film them building houses and tap dancing to prove that they haven't really lost a leg would be very much out of work. They aren't. Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redfox Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Does entrapment apply to the work you do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moosey Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Does entrapment apply to the work you do ? Nope. It's civil though. To be honest I always remember when I did criminal HHJ Bentley saying that he didn't care that entrapment was against EU law, and European law could apparently go to hell. Funny old man.

Posted from Sheffieldforum.co.uk App for Android ---------- Post added 13-09-2013 at 07:33 ---------- I should clarify it might apply if someone went to said client and asked them to do something to incriminate themselves but they tend not to do that.

Halibut Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It is various taped recorded incriminating conversations between colleagues. If you've been recording your colleagues without your consent you could be exposing yourself to disciplinary action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
