Description
GROSSE, J. -- The appellants appeal their convictions of delivery of cocaine and claim the trial court erred by denying their motions to suppress the evidence obtained from the interception and recording of conversations between them and an undercover cooperating witness. The appellants claim the recordings violated Washington's privacy act, RCW 9.73 (Privacy Act), and their rights under Const. art. 1, § 7. We affirm the convictions, holding that the conversations were not private and were therefore outside the purview of the Privacy Act, such that recording them could not have violated the Act. Further, assuming the conversations were private, reversal is not required because the application and authorization to record complied with the requirements of the Privacy Act. We also hold that the recordings did not deprive the appellants of their rights under Const. art. 1, § 7 because there is no constitutional expectation of privacy in a conversation where, as here, one party consents to the recording of the conversation.
