Parents in Washington state who want to listen in on their kids' phone conversations will have to think twice from now on.
The state's Supreme Court has ruled that it's illegal.
The court ruled that a 17-year-old boy should get a new trial on purse-snatching charges. His girlfriend's mother testified that she heard him discuss the crime when she listened in on his conversation with her daughter.
The court ruled that the daughter and her boyfriend had a reasonable expectation of privacy on the phone.
Washington state law prohibits intercepting or recording conversations without the consent of all participants.
