Was either of you using a work-provided cell phone?
Yeah, I know how the laws work in Colorado and I know that some states are different and require both parties to know. Either way, neither of us triggered it. Neither of us was on a work phone and I even double checked with him to make sure that he wasn't on a work phone with some draconian IT permissions. It was his personal phone on his personal time on his personal number.

Strange indeed. This whole thing is new on me. I know they're not compelled but what if this makes it so that if someday they choose to use that information against is they can say 'well listen to the recording your honor, we informed them they were being recorded so they both knew and still continued to talk' or something. I don't know. All I know is I've not only not experienced this before but I've never even heard of it and I have no explanation. None.
