What law in Guyana states that this is illegal
Check for the relevant law.
In the US_of_A, Canada, Britain, etc., a reporter MUST inform the individual and gain consent BEFORE recording a conversation.
You talking pure fart. The law differs from state to state in the US and in most states only one party to the call has to be aware that it's being recorded.
I dealt with them enough times to know they don't tell you a damn thing and record everything. At every encounter with a reporter one should be wise to think they are recording and warn them you are speaking to them off the record so they cannot cite you.
They have coverage in the fact they can say they were doing investigative work. In the US anyone can record anyone if that person feels they are being harassed, will be threatened or are in fear of their life. Lall definitely have coverage here if the new laws are like the US.
1. Reporters indeed do record everything in a general nature when on assignments.
2. When the specific encounters engage individual(s) in exclusive discussions and interactions, the reporter MUST secure the approval of the individual(s) prior to recording the specific conversation.
Ole man, go and read the law before you babble about things which you don't have a clue.
And you have a clue???
I'm not clueless like the octogenarian in the ole people's home babbling aimlessly when he doesn't even know what the law is in regards to recording conversations.
