Is Access Hollywood’s ‘Trump Tape’ Proof NBC Committed a Crime Against Trump? | Law News

Did Trump know he was being recorded? If not, a hot mic can be a criminal act in California, and NBC potentially liable. California Penal Code 632 criminalizes any person who “without the consent of all parties” records their conversations. California Penal Code 637.2 specifically authorizes the right of the person whose privacy was invaded to bring a civil suit, with an incredible treble damages provision for RICO-style punishment.

In today's digital world, we are all exposed to our conversations being recorded by a smart phone, a security camera with sound, or in my case my Samsung TV, without our consent. It is likely that NBC's affiliate broke the law by using a clearly off script conversation and making it public. When the dust dies down, and the lawyers sharpen their knives, it will be interesting to watch because the outcome will affect us all.

How did they sneak a lapel mic onto him without him knowing? :lol:

No, it isn't.

They had already put the mic on him, with his consent.

Stop deflecting. He's a horrible person, and no amount of blaming anyone else changes what he said -- and perhaps did.

The question isn't the microphone, it's the how, why, and when the voice was captured. It is a legal point, not a political one.

A "star" like Trump knows to treat all mics like they are hot.

Even if they did beak the law (which I doubt), it's a little late to put that cat back in the bag! ;)

There are two party states and one party states. California is a two-party consent state. Oops. Looks like DT may get his campaign paid for. I hope they fry them.

True, but it can be one hell of a lawsuit!

I wouldn't even begin to know how you place a dollar value on an event believed to precipitate the destruction of a Presidential campaign!

Yow! :doh

Well, it would start with damages - Trump, RNC, for starters.

We don't know what Trumps contract with the organization employing him at the time was.
So it could go either way, I suppose.

That said, whether a law was or was not violated in releasing the video/audio doesn't matter.

Whether he intended what he said to be public or not, he said them. And it's now public.
