Incriminating evidence from a taped meeting?

[Hairyloon]

If you've been recording your colleagues without your consent you could be exposing yourself to disciplinary action.

 

Whatever the law is, that might certainly be true: it would depend upon company rules and policy.

 

The law, I believe is that it is not lawful to record a conversation which you are not a party to. If you are a participant, then you can record it.

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?

 

 

The above was your question - I assume by unwittingly you mean that the recordings were carried out unbeknown to all the parties? If you think going to the press will help I would give that a great deal of thought before you do. What is it exactly that you want to achieve ?

If you've been recording your colleagues without your consent you could be exposing yourself to disciplinary action.

 

If the employer handbook lists that as something not to do.

If the employer handbook lists that as something not to do.

 

Could it not come under the catchall of "gross misconduct"? Or does that have it's own definition?

[geared]

If you produce these recording and try and use them in any way I think there's a very good change you will end up in as much if not more trouble.

 

Your evidence doesn't count for anything.
