Legality

A gem to determine whether given actions are legal or illegal. It can easily be extended to cover new situations and new laws as needed, since it is entirely possible that LeadSimple will be subject to other laws and regulations.

How It Works

1. You create a Legality::Case with two parameters, the issue at hand and an array of facts about the case.
2. You ask the Legality::Case for a #rule on the case. This will return a Legality::Rule object.
3. You can then ask the Legality::Rule whether any given conduct is_legal? or is_illegal?. If you just want the token summary of the rule, you can ask the Legality::Rule for the #ruling and get back a symbol.

Supported Laws

Call Recording

The gem supports call recording legislation in the United States.

# Determine whether we can legally record a phone call between these two
# phone numbers.
rule = Legality::Case.new(:call_recording, ["3603334444", "3335556666"]).rule
rule.ruling # => :all_party_consent

# Or, shorthand
rule = Legality::Case.new(:call_recording, ["3603334444", "3335556666"]).ruling
# => :all_party_consent
