The Continents States University is a private higher education institution founded and authorized to transact business in the State of Missouri, United States of America.

Missouri recording law stipulates that it is a one-party consent state. In Missouri, it is a criminal offense to use any device to record or share communications, whether wire or oral, without the consent of at least one contributing party.

Missouri’s wiretapping law is a “one-party consent” law. In Missouri, it is illegal to intercept or record any “wire, oral, or electronic communication” unless at least one party to the conversation consents. Mo. Rev. Stat. § 542.402.2.
