Would you give in to blackmail if someone had been recording your conversations or would you fight to win?
Answer:
Never give in to Blackmailers - own up / make public whatever it is your are being blackmailed for and spin your way out of it.. ...or else take the blakmailer out..
Difficult question, as the blackmail is obviously going to be about something you would want to keep under your hat! Still, people just can't get away with doing that to you! Sometimes its best to call their bluff, as they only have gain in the blackmail and gain nothing from actually doing what they say they will do if you don't comply.
bring it
Don't give in - it is illegal to record someone without telling them.
Blackmail is the act of threatening to reveal information about a person, or even do something to destroy the threatened person, unless the blackmailed target fulfills certain demands. This information is usually of an embarrassing or socially damaging nature.
In a broader sense, blackmail is an offer to refrain from any action which would be legal or normally allowed, and is thus distinguished from extortion.
The word is derived from the word for tribute paid by English and Scottish border dwellers to Border Reivers in return for immunity from raids. This tribute was paid in goods or labour (reditus nigri, or "blackmail"): the opposite is blanche firmes or reditus albi, or "white rent" (denoting payment by silver).
If you have nothing to fear then you should have nothing to hide
I believe in what goes around comes around. Things always come out eventually. I would fix the problem by admitting to what your hiding and let the consequences be what they may. And it will be over. Goodluck
The answer is plain and simple NO-
Blackmail is extortion and is prosecutable by law
Recording a conversation with out the other persons consent or without them knowing is also an offence (unless done with a court order usually the police or other law enforcement) for instance - if you are talking to someone and you want to record the conversation you must tell them before you start recording that the phone call or converstaion is being recorded.
Turn the tables on the blackmailer - get the police involved or seek legal advise- never pay a blackmailer or do anything he/she asks you to do because once you do they will just want more.
You can always tell your blackmailer - I am recording this conversation and I will be handing it over to the police and a lawyer.
Something else that you must remember if the police do get involved and the reason you were being blackmailed in the first place was something that you did that was illegal you could still be prosecuted as the tapes would then become evidence against you. So if you have done something illegal tell the police and a lawyer when you tell them that you are being blackmailed.
Unless you said something really bad, like implicating yourself in a major crime, why should you pay anyway. If they had me talking about my girlfriends and threatened to tell my wife, I would laugh and tell em to go for it. If I was running drugs or killing folks I would keep it to myself.
before you do any of that, make sure you fill their heads with rubish by having fake conversations in order to confuse them,
recording conversations is only any good if the person dosent know if hedoes know its pointless, if you have been recorded for political reasons for politicians to ruin your life, then e mail me, i am a veteran of 17yrs of being bugged and set up, perhaps i can help in some way.
NO, I wont give in.It is illegal to record ones conversations. I will tell him/her to go ahead if he/she has the gut, but first I will report to law inforcement agent.
How do you expect a Legally valid answer unless you outline the paticular facts that will be divulged and in what state (if the U.S.) the recording was made?
One thing you should know, everyone who answered your question on here saying it is illegal to record your conversation is, at best, incomplete in their answer. It depends where the recording took place. I don't know anything about outside the U.S. but many states in the U.S. allow recording of conversations so long as one party to the conversation (including telephone conversations) consents to the recording. Obviously, if one person on the conversation is actually doing the recording, they must have consented. Other states require either a court order or both parties consent.
