Eavesdropping

Did the mom overhear the bf or the daughter? I thought she overheard the daughter's end of the conversation, and I don't believe the bf has any privacy rights over what the daughter says aloud. But whatever.

eta: uh, facts help:

"The daughter had taken a cordless phone into her bedroom and closed the door. In another room, her mother pressed the speakerphone button on an extension, listened in and took notes.


The court ruled that the daughter and her boyfriend had a reasonable expectation of privacy on the phone. Washington state law prohibits intercepting or recording conversations without the consent of all participants."

Seems like the correct result to me now.
