active

Minnesota's wiretap law makes it a crime, and a civil wrong, to intentionally intercept, disclose, or use the contents of phone calls, electronic communications, or in-person conversations without authorization. Minnesota is a one-party consent state: a participant, or someone with a participant's prior consent, may record a conversation unless it is done to commit a crime or tort.
