Court: Mom's Eavesdropping Violated Law

SEATTLE (AP) - In a victory for rebellious teenagers, the
state Supreme Court ruled Thursday that a mother violated
Washington's privacy law by eavesdropping on her daughter's phone
conversation.

Wow. That's rather across the board.

One special case comes to mind. What if the teenager is emotionally
handicapped?

I know of a fetal alcohol syndrom girl. Her adopted mother occassionally
listened to her phone conversations.

The girl had no mainstream friends. She did have a number of friends
she met at special functions (Special Olympics, a special bowling
league). These friends were spread throughout the city or region
and weren't "in the flesh" except during the events. So the phone was
critical to this girl's social life. That's how she stayed in touch
with friends.

By picking up the phone one day, the mom found out a 30'ish man was
calling her daughter regularly. The man was asking her daughter about
condoms, where they were going to meet, etc.

So I guess that conversation couldn't be used to convict a guy of
statutory rape or child molestation.

That's ... not believable. There must be some clause that's
not being mentioned.

Yeah. The "you're merely ignorant" clause.

Without a warrant, contents of phone calls are protected even from
heresay about them as being "fruit of the poisoned tree" because
they have the "reasonable expectation of privacy".
