Can you record things on discord as legit evidence?

[Anonymous]

I signed up for APS (Adult protective services) and if it goes to through no doubt they send someone over and I was wondering if you can record on discord as proof and evidence to everything I said.

Recording conversations on Discord without consent probably wouldn't be legit evidence that you could use in an investigation. Here are a few things to consider:

- Privacy laws - Most places have laws against recording phone calls or online conversations without all parties consenting. Could get you in legal trouble.

- Admissibility - Even if you did record something, a court may not allow it as evidence since it was obtained without the other person agreeing to be recorded.

- Quality issues - Audio/video quality on Discord can vary depending on network connections. Important details could get lost or distorted in a recording.

- Editing concerns - There's always a chance a recording could be edited/doctored after the fact. In-person interviews leave less doubt about accuracy.

The best way to get legit evidence would probably be to keep thorough notes of the key details of your conversations - dates, times, summaries of what was said and done. You could provide these notes to APS and refer to them during an interview. They'd likely find your contemporaneous notes more credible than something secretly recorded. Just my two cents! Let me know if any other questions come up.

They most likely can.
