    Default Federal vs. State Law for Recording Phone Calls

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland and Federal

    I have reviewed the Reporter's Recording Guide that was referenced in another thread. The guide outlines the law for taping phone calls. Still, it left me with a couple questions. Based on what I read ... Federal law allows recording of phone calls and other electronic communications with the consent of at least one party to the call. However, Maryland is an All-Party consent state which is contrary to Federal law. As a non-lawyer I find this problematic. Would not Federal law take precedence in court?

    If someone records a telephone conversation as one-party consent in Maryland, and the conversation is never used or disclosed by the one-party, what would the damage be ... where is the injury? I would like to read some case law (civil or criminal) regarding this if someone can point me in the right direction.

    Thanks.
