Tom, I may only be a 1L, but I believe that the bolded line is the key one here. Regardless of any disagreements about interpretation of the statute, I'd be extremely careful about taping any phone conversations.
KR, that's awful that it happened. Stuff like this makes me angry - my dad is a contractor, and it's hacks like these that give the profession a bad name.
