Santos is now offering 55% off his Cameo videos, meaning for $150, he will record himself saying just about anything.
I wonder if you could pay him $150 to admit he threatened a reporter.
George Santos is probably one of the least intimidating pieces of shit I know of. Threats without gravitas is nothing more than comedy.
What a sad, pathetic man. He's like Trump: all lies and boasts and threats. Why not build something, do some good in the world...
Temu Trump
I’d love to know who’s willing to lift a gun for this piece of shit.
😂 he thinks he’s important enough to defend. Yeah nobody gives a shit about Santos lol.
This is why I record all my phone calls.
As we were talking, I asked if I could record the call. He said no. I was in front of a keyboard, though, furiously jotting down every word.
Depends on the jurisdiction if you need two-party consent to record.
Who cares, do it anyway. They lie and cheat, so can we.
The punishment for recording will be insignificant compared to the punishment for the person you recorded. That is unless illegal recordings are inadmissible in court.
Fun fact, law enforcement is bound by the fourth amendment against performing illegal searches or seizures. Any evidence gained from "the fruit of the poisonous tree" is generally inadmissible unless they can prove they could have found it through other legal means. This in no way prevents them from using evidence gained through illegal means and provided to them outside of direct law enforcement action!
Some states (California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington) have two-party consent laws, making it illegal to record a conversation without consent from all parties in the recording. At the very least, a recording w/o consent would be inadmissible in court, but it could also land you in prison (up to 5 years in Maryland and Massachusetts).
What if you simply announce that you are recording and remind them they have the option to hang up if they don’t like it
That's the legal method to go about it, yes. So long as you make clear indication first that you're recording, its all on the other end to make the choice to continue.
Answer every call with "calls may be recorded for quality assistance purposes". They can hang up.
