Roommate's girlfriend recorded argument from next room. Is this legal? So last night my boyfriend and I had a really bad argument in our apartment, and the walls are incredibly thin. For example if I raise my voice slightly above normal volume it can be heard in the next room. Our roommate's girlfriend was asleep in his bedroom, and woke up. She recorded our argument, and left the next day because she was uncomfortable. My boyfriend and I are okay, we just needed to work some stuff out. I live in rural Georgia in the US, and I know that it's a one-party consent state when it comes to recording private conversations, but how does that apply to people who are not a part of the argument/discussion? Was it legal for her to record our argument?
