Inaccurate source

The source referenced in footnote 7 is not entirely accurate, leading me to wonder whether it should be referenced. Specifically, the "further explication of the relevant law" for West Virginia references a section of the code that does not exist. --Everything Else Is Taken (talk) 21:36, 3 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"Voice Recording" section inaccurate

For example, in Washington State, in-person conversations that don't carry a reasonable expectation of privacy (i.e., in public) can be recorded.

Reference 10 is specifically about telephone conversations. This can't be generalized to all voice conversations.

"Voice Recording" section inaccurate for Nevada

Nevada has differing laws for in-person and electronic conversations. Electronic communication requires all parties to consent. In-person only requires one party.[1]

You can't pay bail if you haven't been charged

The sentence:

    He was later released on bail without being charged.

does not make sense!

Very American-centric

Just to note that the article almost exclusively covers American law and USA in particular. It mentions European law but that's it. UK law is different. I have no idea about the majority rest of the world. I'm surprised it's rated C.
