Recording a Conversation
W.S. 7-3-702 — one party's consent is enough, and intercepting otherwise is a felony
A person may record a phone call or conversation they are part of, or one where one of the parties has given consent beforehand, unless it is recorded to commit a crime or a tort.
Who handles this in Wyoming: legal aid programs, lawyer referral and the state offices, listed in the Wyoming directory.
Otherwise, intentionally intercepting a wire, oral or electronic communication is a felony with a fine of up to $1,000, up to five years, or both.
- Disclosing or using the contents of a communication, knowing or having reason to know it was unlawfully intercepted, is barred as well.
- Intercepting the radio part of a cell phone call, a cordless phone between handset and base, or a paging service is a misdemeanor with a fine of up to $750, up to six months, or both.
