I have an idea. As to not change the tone of the person you are talking
to, why not record the conversation, then after words tell them, "i have
recoreded this conversation, are you okay with this?"
If you tell them first, they will either be prepared and change their
story, or take the 5th.. If you tell them afterwards, they can turn you
away, but I know for a fact that in Arizona you only have to know, and
the other party does not. Doesn't matter where they are, the call is
taking place in Arizona..
I had to do this same thing once between Payson and Bakersfield CA, and
the same thing came up. We talked to a lawyer and he said it didn't
matter, if we record it in Arizona and we make the call, it's arizona
law. We recorded, didn't say anything, and won the case.. using the
tape of course.
