Phone Privicy

I wonder if anyone can help [livejournal.com profile] gardenpixie out? She needs to know if she has any come back against someone (the Fiddler) who taped a private telephone conversation without her knowledge some weeks ago.

She knows that he has played the tape to one other person, but does not know if he still has the tape.

Does anyone know if she can demand that he destroys the tape?

My knowledge is only about using tapes of conversations as evidence in Police matters and in thisa case I can't advise her.

Well, [livejournal.com profile] sneerpout is right that any stuff collected that way would be inadmissible in court (tho you can never be quite sure in these starnge post 9-11 days..)

If you want to scare him with threats of calling in police I could look and see if this is , as I suspect, some kind of criminal act of unauthorised interception or the like?

Disturbingly, he's an ex-copper and still seems to be quite well connected - but don't they all ;@)
