Thank you for playing.
Keep in mind...said notification can be as vague as just having the beep in the backround every 15 seconds. They DON'T have to ask if they can record in that case...you have to state you don't give permission for it to continue.

I disagree. A judge is unlikely to consider "beeps" as sufficient notification and/or consent.

It SHOULD be insufficient but sadly it is NOT.

From the FCC

http://www.fcc.gov/guides/recording-...-conversations


FCC’s Rules Regarding Telephone Company Recording of Interstate or International Wireline Telephone Conversations

The FCC protects the privacy of telephone conversations by requiring notification before a recording device is used to record interstate (between different states) or international wireline calls. Interstate or international wireline conversations may not be recorded unless the use of the recording device is:

preceded by verbal or written consent of all parties to the telephone conversation; or
preceded by verbal notification that is recorded at the beginning, and as part of the call, by the recording party; or
accompanied by an automatic tone warning device, sometimes called a “beep tone,” that automatically produces a distinct signal that is repeated at regular intervals during the course of the telephone conversation when the recording device is in use.

Those are FCC federal rules. As is normal, CA law is stricter. In CA, beeps are not enough.

I like it. I think it's a relatively new section and was really needed to deal with the regular annoying kooks. The elements are a little vague but sometimes that's good. Did the DA file?

The rest of the text.........
(b) An intent to annoy or harass is established by proof of
repeated calls over a period of time, however short, that are
unreasonable under the circumstances.
(c) Upon conviction of a violation of this section, a person also
shall be liable for all reasonable costs incurred by any unnecessary
emergency response.

by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than six months, or by

to telephone calls made in good faith.
I was going to arrest a guy for that section, he was upset because we didn't respond fast enough to take a report for his stolen muffler or something so he decided to call 9-1-1 with bogus "man with gun calls" on his neighbors in an effort make us respond faster. He decided not to answer the door when I told him that I was going to take his report before taking him to jail. He also didn't call back about his muffler....

*edit* my agency has also filed 653(y) and 653x charges against several chronic 9-1-1 abusers. The DA did prosecute and get a conviction on them.

I have no interest in recording LEO's, but does anyone have a cite saying that the "beep" tone is not sufficient notice? The California Public Utilities Commission's General Order 107-B specifically says the beep or verbal notification.

http://docs.cpuc.ca.gov/PUBLISHED/Graphics/567.PDF

I think most of us have called a public agency at one time and heard a beep tone and not been told we were being recorded, even though we likely assumed we were.

I never thought I'd ever sy this to anyone.

OP - If you're mom can't get the situation resolved, have her call Gloria Alred or someone of that type.

Doheny,

This was a good find, but not really relevant to the topic of this thread.

The PUC document only conveys a directive to utilities that are regulated by the commission. Unless the person who is recording the detective is a PUC regulated utility (like a telephone company), the directive doesn't apply.

Just a little update on the circumstances, my mom received this Email yesterday:

"(protected person),



I left you a message on your voicemail yesterday. I met with the filing DA at West Covina yesterday regarding your case against (restrained person). The case was rejected for the following reason: “…(restrained person) obtained advice from a member of the California Bar, (redacted), who erroneously advised him that since he was pro per he could peacefully contact her by phone to discuss the legal case. Longoria was wrong, however, the suspect’s good faith reliance on the advised establishes a defense to the charge since an intentional violation cannot be proven.”



I called (restrained person) yesterday and advised him that per the DA’s office, (redacted) advice to him was wrong, and at no time should he ever contact you as long as the restraining order is in effect. I also asked (restrained person) regarding the purchases he made at Turner’s. He assured me he did not purchase any firearms, and he told me he would not contact you again.



Please contact us if (restrained person) makes any further contact with you. If he calls you again, regardless of the circumstances (unless the restraining order is amended), we will most likely get a filing.



If you have issues with the decision you may contact the Deputy District Attorney in Charge, (redacted).



Thank you,

(redacted)"

so it seems there is now a good faith exemption to a domestic violence restraining order

aslo thanks to everyone who gave me the good advice, seems I didn't need a recorder after all.

No, but the DA obviously knows through previous experience that no jury will ever convict him so there is no point in wasting time and money prosecuting.

That about sums it up. I've presented numerous cases to the DA where I thought it was a good case and worth the time in front of a jury only to be shot down by the DA's experience with a jury. As mad as I was every time something like that happened, I learned that they had more experience with stuff like this and were usually right.

If I had to bet, there is most likely an exemption for the government.
