Below is a section of the Nebraska State Statutes that we believe apply to recording phone conversations. This information is not intended as a substitute for legal counsel.
From the Nebraska State Code
Neb. Rev. Stat. § 86-290: A person who is a party to a wire, electronic or oral communication, or who has obtained prior consent from a party, can record or disclose the contents of that communication without violating the law, so long as there is no criminal or tortious purpose behind the recording or disclosure. Illegal interceptions are felonies that can be punished with fines up to $10,000 and five years in prison. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 28-105.
In addition, anyone whose conversation has been illegally intercepted is specifically authorized to recover through a civil action monetary damages, litigation costs and attorney fees. Neb. Rev. Stat. § 86-297.
Important Notice
It is always best to talk with an attorney if you have questions about the legal implications of recording calls in your state. We hope this information will serve as a general guide, and is not intended to substitute for expert legal counsel.
