Connecticut criminal code, wiretapping defined (one-party) (Conn. Gen. Stat. 53a-187(a)(1))

Connecticut's crime of wiretapping is one-party: a participant who records, or anyone with one side's consent, is not wiretapping. The all-party rule for Connecticut calls comes from the civil statute 52-570d, not the criminal code.
