"Was it legal to record the conversation?
It depends what state you are in during the conversation. Most states require that only one person have knowledge that a conversation is being recorded for it to be legal.
But some states, like California, are "two-party consent" states where all of those involved in the conversation have to know they are being recorded for it to be legal. So depending on the location of the recording, if Sterling didn't know he was being recorded, the audio might very well have been obtained illegally.
Stiviano's lawyer, however, told the Los Angeles Times that
Sterling knew he was being recorded.
The lawyer, Mac Nehoray, declined to tell the Times why Stiviano recorded the conversation, but said
it was "by mutual agreement," he told the Times."
And 9erute, you may be interested in this section of the same article:
"Was this a First Amendment violation?
Have Sterling's First Amendment rights been violated? No, [Joel Kurtzberg, a New York attorney with expertise in First Amendment and media law] said.
No one is questioning that Sterling has the right to speak as he pleases, but the public and the NBA are also free to condemn what he says, Kurtzberg said.
Marc J. Randazza, a Las Vegas-based First Amendment attorney, wrote in an op-ed for CNN that the NBA is private club and can punish Sterling as it sees fit."
And that's one to grow on.
