Spouse Wiretap
Wiretapping is an act of secretly listening to and/ or recording other person's Internet, wire, oral, or electronic communication as part investigation (Nockleby, 2012, p. 3). According to the federal and the state wiretapping law, a person is legally allowed to tape and/or record a conversation provided that he/she is a party to that conversation (Yeh, 2009, p. 18). The same law also states that a person cannot tape a spouse while he/she is talking to other people, even if it is a paramour. Any other form of recording or taping another persons' conversation is a violation of the civil and criminal wiretap laws (White, 2001, P. 11).
