U.S. v. Roy, 349 F.Supp.2d 60 (D.Mass. 2003). A detainee charged with drug, firearms and witness tampering offenses moved to suppress the contents of his telephone conversations that were recorded when he was in custody. The district court denied the motion, finding that the detainee impliedly consented to the recording of his telephone conversations because he was informed that his calls were subject to monitoring and recording, he chose to proceed with the conversations, and those to whom the defendant made the calls expressly consented to participate in possibly-recorded telephone conversations.
