Some months ago I had very good reason to believe that my wife was having an affair. I installed a voice recorder and a GPS tracking device in her car in an attempt to obtain evidence of the affair. The automobile title is in my name. I am now being told that I have committed two federal crimes by installing these devices. I am told both are felonies and I am being threatened with prosecution unless I agree to give my wife (soon to be ex) a percentage of my business. I would like to know if the federal government ever prosecutes the crimes I have apparently commited when the recorder and GPS use happens between a husband and wife. I can understand prosecution when the parties involved are unrelated but could prosecution really occure when a husband knows darn well that his wife has lied to him and is probably having an affair and installs these devices in an attempt to obtain additional evidence of such. I have received a reply to this posting that says many of these items are state specific and that I should consult an attorney. I already know that no chargable crime has been comitted under state law. The issue here is whether the Federal Government would ever consider persuing charges given the domestic circumstances under federal law.
