Help me out guys.

I need a device that will record phone calls made on one phoneline whenver a call is made. It's a standard US phone type. Anyhelp?

FYI, this is needed to get information on some thugs who are calling my house and conversing with a family member. That is all...

If you're going to do something like that the Anarchist's Cookbook gives you lots of advice on such things. Old, but basically sound advice.

But don't use it. Use the police.

Got a Police force?

The Spy Store (http://www.thespystore.com/)

Where pastie geeks go to get the gear that they think will allow them to get back at all those people who called them pastie geeks.

Who is wanting to jump on the case but is lacking evidence.

you can give them permission to check to see who's calling your line. from there, their number and the pattern of calls.

If you are getting harrasing phone calls you can call the telephone company and let them know. Next time it happens record when and then tell them. I did it when I was getting barraged with calls that I didn't even understand, it was easy as cheese and didn't require I buy anything goofy.

Are you sure you're not Richard Nixon?

No, the trouble's from the inside. Certain family member who is a troublemaker.

But it is THEIR job to get the evidence.

I think that if you are recording a call, the recorder has to beep every so often or it is illegal... I would ask the police about that before doing any recording, because an illegal recording will not be admissible in court anyway.

I know that some answering machines will also record calls, and you can probably find one that does cheaper than trying to cobble together something.

Do you need evidence that they call, or do you need to record the actual conversations? :confused:
Help me out COMRADES, I need a phone line recorder....
:eek: COMMIE!!!

*flees*

i think there are phone answering machines that will do that. they also record date and time. i assume you have calller ID. keep a log.

have you talked to the local DA?

The call is coming from inside the house???

Ummmm.... get out of the house now?

a family member is calling thugs and you want to know who?

check with your phone company.

Are you by any chance a Loss Prevention Agent or security guard? I've known a few LP agents and security guards and they're always into crap like this-that and over using jargon when talking to cops or people in the military.

Radio Shack contact microphone and a tape/mp3 recorder might be what you need.

No, this family member is causing strife within the Designatedmarksman clan and it involves many other things. The DM clan is pissed off and would like to confront -DM with evidence to escape the lying BS she pulls.

OK, then...

Sounds like what you need is not a tape recorder, but rather a family therapist.

then check the answering machines at your local walmart. you can probably get all the "evidence" you need for less than $50

"Talking" is so un-mellodramatic. Why do that when you can escalate the problem by being intrusive and overly complicated?

She's already going to NA and a therapist. It ISN'T WORKING!

She needs JAILTIME.

FYI, this is needed to get information on some thugs who are calling my house and conversing with a family member. That is all...Better make sure about the wiretapping laws in your state--you're not the NSA after all. Some states make it a crime to record a phone call unless both parties are aware of the recording.

Parents have a right to check on their 16 year old delinquent daughter. If things get squared away, you'll be suprised.

To mingle with thugs and drug dealers? She need more connections?

Alright, I'll stop poking you with a stick. What you do is your business...

Again--you'd better check on the laws regarding recording phone calls in your state. You could find yourself in trouble, even if it is your daughter you're listening to.

Calling someone and recording the conversation: Illegal.

Someone calling in and recording the conversation? legal.

Texas laws baby.

She needs JAILTIME.

I'm glad you're not my parent.

Even if you're not a party to the conversation? See, the way the law read in Louisiana (I had a situation with a person who was recording my now ex-wife and his wife's conversations) about twelve years ago, the only way you can record is when you're on the line. Recording other's conversations, even if you pay the bill, is expressly forbidden if you're a private citizen. You may be in the clear, but you better make sure, because the fines for wiretapping are stiff, and if you don't think a pissed off teenager will fuck you over, even if she is your kid, you better think again.

Don't commit unsaid offences under my roof. Or to be exact, my dad's roof. Man o man he is pissed.

I think I can just about manage that. By the way, what are these terrible offences?

You're not the parent, and so by your own argument your right to check on her doings is as yet unasserted, never mind proven. To say nothing of the legality of the whole wiretapping thang...

Hey, why go to all the bother of recording her telephone calls if you are already sure of her guilt, and have determined that jailing is the only workable solution?

Seems to me that the most sensible thing for all involved would be for your family to imprison this minor in her your own house. Why go to all the bother of actually collecting evidence, if your mind is already made up?

Is it a felony or just a misdemeanor to record phone calls without permission?

Maybe you should shoot her in the face.

You know, from like 10 feet away or whatever, since you're a "designated marksman."

Depends on the state, I believe, but in most cases, and certainly in federal cases, it's a felony.

Rent-a-pigs are your friends, they are for your own good.



Anyway DM if you arent VERY careful (or a minor too) you can get in far more trouble than your sister is in for illegal wiretapping. Make certain you are legally recording conversations before you do. If poison mushrooms are legal in your area try them to solve sibling rivalry issues. Just dont test them on yourself first for effectiveness.

Forget that, I just let the little wench use my computer and it's got a keylogger on it.

Here's a partial transcript.

**NAME EDITED OUT** heard the whole think and kinda did this weird gasping thing
it was SOOO funny...i lauged my ass off...so to thank me he lets me use his computer!!!
I like the idea of thinking about sex every time ci\oke comes to mind....:-) :-)


This is gonna get good.

I'm doing this at the request of my father.

And oh, forget the phone recording. Keylogger is cheaper, easier, and way more effective.

This is going to end badly. This is your sister? She'll never forgive you or your parents for this invasion, even if it is for her own good.

I think I can just about manage that. By the way, what are these terrible offences?

Reckless driving
use of hardcore narcotics
shoplifting
reckless driving
Assault

For starters.

WAS my sister. Whatever sweet girl I grew up with is no longer there and old a shell of that former person remains. God knows how much I love her but the sin and wickedness she lets into her life kills the rest of us too. Sort of sad, her drug habit damaged part of her brain and now she's paranoid all the time. Crazy. Hell, I even keylog myself. Just to be fair.

She drove like a woman, parked at walmart, smoked crack, heisted the latest boy band CD and backed over somebody on her way out of the parking spot?

No, the trouble's from the inside. Certain family member who is a troublemaker.
Oh lol.

My guess is he is over interpreting something his dad said in anger.

Why don't you ask the NSA.

"Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" :p
Nice. I was going to pretend I didn't have to look that up, but I did.

If you're having trouble with a family member, why not call them out in front of everyone else, and settle the whole thing.

Making drama out of it isn't going to solve anything.

Nobility lies in the man, my prince, not in the towel.

Don't commit unsaid offences under my roof. Or to be exact, my dad's roof. Man o man he is pissed.

Reckless driving

Your sister is driving recklessly under your father's roof?

Do you live in a drive-through McDonalds or a multistory carpark?

That's illegal. And you can't use information obtained like that to prosecute someone.

No, this family member is causing strife within the Designatedmarksman clan and it involves many other things. The DM clan is pissed off and would like to confront -DM with evidence to escape the lying BS she pulls.

Why not give her 30 days to get out of your house?

Like somebody already said, why not just give the police permission to do the recording?

Help me out guys.

Depending what country you are in, it may be illegal to record telephone conversations unless you are an official of the state. Get the police to, or contact your phone company - I know in England most companies have procedures for dealing with malicious calls.
