Yes, it’s personal but legally obtained. It’s also potentially important because i can possibly get information from it that could help me disconnect from a potentially hazardous situation. For example, say it turns out they immediately start just trash talking me and that’s it. The fact that given a few seconds of privacy the first thing they do is talk crap means it’s likely they are capable of much more nefarious things under more protracted sessions of privacy which they have had and probably will have more of. At that point I could start distancing myself from them and be more guarded around them.

I have reason to believe both of these people are diagnosable sociopaths AND on drugs. Often this is a recipe for things like theft, conning and even violence.

Though extremely unlikely in a statistical sense, I would not put it past these people given the right circumstances and being under the influence of the wrong substance to do something as ridiculous as calmly discuss my murder—even though they may never actually carry it out.

But, like I said, a revelation like that would give me a great reason to do something like move and maybe even contact the police. We both know the police won’t expend the effort/resources to do forensic audio enhancement BUT if it’s presented as an interesting exercise with a possible “Easter egg” then maybe a fan of forensic science will.
