Hi, I call myself Ignatz after Dan Herriman's character in the old "Krazy Kat" comic strip. I'm 44, father of 3, husband to one, crazy about music and books and food and movies and history and martial arts. I've had some wild and crazy times in my life, and I figure I might as well put in some of my perspective.
I promise not to talk down to anyone or make fun,and I promise not to BS anyone. If you're old enough to ask a frank question, you're old enough to get a frank answer. Oh, and if you ask me a question directly, please be patient. I'll get back to you as soon as I can. My life's a bit hectic. :-)

Is it illegal, if you are living in a college dorm with a roommate, to set up a voice recorder on your own desk to record what is going on in the room while you are not there?
I really need to know!
I'm talking about a digital voice recorder. I found out my roommate did something illegal and I'm trying to get her for it. I need to know if I can use the recording as legitimate evidence for what she did. (link)

Generally speaking, it is illegal for a law-enforcement agency (police, FBI, CIA) to bug or wiretap someone without a warrant. If you record your roommate without her knowledge or consent, any evidence you obtain could not be used in court. If you're concerned, contact your local police or campus authorities. You could create a lot of problems with your roommate if something goes wrong with your plan.
