Because the California Invasion of Privacy Act was passed into law by the California Legislature on Friday, July 28, 1967. Meaning, you could not and still cannot (California has always been a two-party state) record a phone conversation without the consent of all parties in the conversation agreeing to be taped. LISTEN TO THE PHONE CONVERSATION - CLICK HERE also In 1968, Congress passed a law that provided warrants for wiretapping in criminal investigations only. National security was not at stake, Elvis was not committing any crimes, there was no criminal investigation going on, and Red West did not have a warrant. Elvis’s expectation of privacy was violated and Red's supposed revealing was a big pile of nothing.
