Is it illegal to live stream a phone call without permission?.. Someone (I won't name yet) called a Senators Office and live streamed a conversation with an intern with out telling the intern he was online. Now, I know it's unethical but is it a crime????

Laws will vary state by state.

Recording a call without the other person’s knowledge is illegal in many states but I think not all.
To: Robe
Depends on if the law is one or two party consent.
To: Robe
The legality varies from state to state.

The Senator’s office was in DC and the call originated in SC

Depends on the state. I guess you could call the FCC and ask.

I thought it was OK as long as one party had knowledge of the recording.

It's a USC title 18 violation and is generally a felony.

I'm not a lawyer though, so don't take my word for it!

Since you called a public official’s office, there might be a defense that a public official has no right to privacy regarding his official duties.

Don’t worry about it. If you upload it to YouTube...just use a proxy.

In Florida it is, but “live streaming” is not recording, it’s more like broadcasting via internet. Like a conference call or a speaker phone in a room full of people listening in........

Is streaming actually recording the conversation? I don’t think so. it’s just like leaving the speaker phone on and allowing others to hear it.
If others record it, you have no control over that.
To: Robe
It depends on the state, but most state laws covers the recording the call. So live streaming may not be covered.

in most states, if a conversation occurs between two parties, A & B, and A or B records it; that’s fine. if a person, not involved in the conversation, records the conversation without the consent of A or B, you have problems.

It's legal if you are a retired couple sitting in your car and mistakenly capture a communication from a Republican official and then think it would be fun to send it to your son who just happens to work for a Democrat.
