Judge Threatens to Remove Jeremy Dewitte From Courtroom

As many of you already know, Jeremy Charles Dewitte was arrested yesterday on charges of unlawful interception of oral communication. A search warrant that had been executed on the offices of Metro State allegedly turned up an audio recording made by Mr. Dewitte and capturing the contents of a phone call between himself and an investigator from the State Attorney's Office.

Despite the fact that some viewers want the law to be different, their will does not make it so. Florida Statutes § 934.03(3)(d)
states that all parties must consent to the recording and or disclosure of the contents of and electronic, oral or wire communication. Violation of Florida's wiretapping law by recording, disclosing, or endeavoring to disclose a recording without the consent of all parties is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and $5,000 in fines, unless the interception is a first offense committed without any illegal purpose, and not for commercial gain. § 934.03(4)(a). In those circumstances, a violation is a misdemeanor punishable by up to a year in jail and fines of up to $1,000. § 934.03(4)(b).

The consequences of ignoring or misunderstanding recording laws can be life-changing, in the "jail" sense of the term. Comments making objectively false or misleading assertions about recording laws will be removed.

Note that all wiretapping laws contain exceptions. For example, Florida's statute exempts calls to 911 and other emergency phone numbers, certain law enforcement activities, certain FCC employees, and other entities that would sensibly be included.

Some people pointed out that many businesses record all calls, which is of course true. They also tell you that they are recording the call at the beginning. By remaining on the call, you are consenting to the recording.

Note that Nevada has a one-party consent law, but Nevada’s Supreme Court has interpreted it as an all-party consent law.
