Sure, happens all the time with all types of interpreters, language, disability, whatever. They don't have any type of privilage or confidentiality guarantee from the law, why would they?

Sure, why not? It's evidence and if the prosecutor finds out about it, you can bet he or she will subpoena the interpreter and call records.
There is no presumption or guarantee of privilege when a deaf person uses an interpreter to talk on the phone.

It relies upon on what state you're in. In Ohio, basically one section could desire to be conscious that the recording is occurring. besides the shown fact that, till he's recording you doing something that implicates you in doing something unlawful --- hiding materials, abusing your babies, threatening to kill him, or something alongside those lines, it is not suitable. you are able to nasty and mean to him. The courts assume that. the reality which you 2 are not getting alongside is probable the reason of the divorce.

If the accused was talking with his attorney through the interpreter, then no, because the attorney client privilege prevents it. If the accused was talking withe someone other than his attorney or priest, then yes. There is no interpreter-client privilege.
