As a former prosecutor and now criminal defense lawyer, people

ask me all the time, what is eavesdropping?

And the legal definition of eavesdropping

in on a private conversation without the knowledge

or consent of the parties and you use either a recording

device to record the conversation or an amplifying

device to help you hear the conversation.

Suppose you're in the bathroom stall at work,

and two co-workers come in and they start talking

They don't realize you're in the bathroom stall,

and you just quietly overhear their conversation.

That's at least not illegal eavesdropping

using any sort of device to amplify or record

But suppose you take out your iPhone and you decide,

I'm going to take advantage of this opportunity.

Then it becomes eavesdropping, and that would be illegal.
