Contact the police maybe
Civil issues handled through the court. Keep in mind text messaging is the best outlet to disputes when handling court matters these days. MARYLAND is a two party consent when it comes to audio or video recording. Meaning you have to get the party your recording consent before recording conversations or video especially when using in the court of law. Judges want hear of it unless it has to do with child endangerment or threats of violence and still a judge knows that the person recording has the upper hand can dial back in an argument just so the other party can show there irrateness or the recording party can manipulate recording to benifit them. typically a judge wont hear it because it's illegal without the consent of both parties. You cant be ghetto and say I'm recording you. You can ask them if they consent to be recorded. So if your in the right be smart from the beginning and get then to admit or acknowledge what you need. Call the police, make a police report #civilmatter
