Did V. Stiviano commit a crime when recording Donald Sterling?(California Recording Law)

This sure appears to say that the bimbo V. Stiviano by recording Sterling committed a crime:

California's wiretapping law is a “two-party consent” law. California makes it a crime to record or eavesdrop on any confidential communication, including a private conversation or telephone call, without the consent of all parties to the conversation. See Cal. Penal Code § 632. The statute applies to “confidential communications” — i.e., conversations in which one of the parties has an objectively reasonable expectation that no one is listening in or overhearing the conversation. See Flanagan v. Flanagan, 41 P.3d 575, 576-77, 578-82 (Cal. 2002). A California appellate court has ruled that this statute applies to the use of hidden video cameras to record conversations as well. See California v. Gibbons, 215 Cal. App. 3d 1204 (Cal Ct. App. 1989). “
California Recording Law

Only one of them broke the law but the MSM doesn't care about that.

I’ve noticed that every single news report refers to her as “V”, without mention what the V stands for. Do these reporters really not know her real name, or real first name? Is the V Stiviano name a stage name or alias? What do we really know about this girl?

That doesn't pass the smell test.

Yes, generally, when you're recording a conversation, you state (at the beginning) that you're taping/recording the conversation, and then ask that all understand and consent. That way you have proof of consent contained within the recording itself.

we’ll see as this plays out. My guess is that the tapes were part of a blackmail plot. When she was unable to blackmail him, she decided to release the tapes publicly, in an attempt to destroy him.

I’m glad the issue of her making these tapes is getting some attention now. Why was she making tapes, and why did she publicize them, are very good questions. Alongside the question of whether laws were broken in the process. She may find herslef in legal trouble. We’ll see. See if any of these Al Sharpton types, who decry the racism of the tapes, will pay her legal bills.

RE “I think they were working on a book for sharing Sterling’s Wisdom.”

I don't have much sympathy for him but I do find this entertaining,

He should refuse to sell his team and should have her prosecuted, to cause as much trouble as possible

Keep em busy on MSNBC..

If that is the case, I’m sure she will have no problem producing a recording of him giving his consent. /sarcasm

It’s only a crime if you are recording leftist criminals confessing their crimes, in post Rule of Law America.

Not a great idea to do it in a state that make it illegal to record someone in a private setting wo their knowledge.

I thought of this because my state has such a law.

Not just MSNBC, but FNC didn't even pick up on this last night, not even Megyn Kelly.

I wonder if the fact that the recording is apparently an illegal one will hamper the NBA’s effort to punish Sterling.

Suppose Silver gives him a huge fine and long suspension and he goes to court to fight it. Would the recording even be admissible in court? I think as far as a court is concerned there would be no evidence at all that he ever made those idiotic, racist comments.

Certainly, the gold digger is not going to cooperate with the NBA investigation if it means admitting she made the tape(s) as it would open her up to criminal charges.

I’m not sure if 2 people ever deserved each other more than Donald and V.

California law requires that either one or the other of the parties in a conservation must announce they are recording the conservation. That is why when you are making a call or receiving a call the party usually announces this conversation is being recorded. If no announcement is made and the call is used in a court or played to the pubic they have committed a crime. Am I wrong?

IT better be more than that. Lawyers will do and say anything.
He better be able to prove it in court otherwise just He say/She say.

She better be offloading any assets because her “beau” will have her hung out to dry in civil court.

That certainly is a foolproof way of protecting yourself .

If she was to claim that he gave his OK (which she is) and wo proof it doesn't pass the smell test.

Unless he was to let her off the hook.

If there was a violation of the law, the way the media immediately jumped on this should also be investigated, for evidence of complicity in the crime.

she has bad skin... and her nose is way too small for her very prominent facial features—cheek bones, lips... she probably has a spectacular body...

You bring up some great possible scenarios.

Those would lead to a very entertaining unfolding of events.

yes--likely... but why would he not find someone who already has all that? perhaps to keep her under his control?
