      POINTS OF COUNSEL
    
      George W. Conaty, Jr., for Willie McGee, appellant.
    I. The affirmative defenses of entrapment and coercion were established as a matter of law. (People v Dioguardi, 8 NY2d 260; Callanan v United States, 223 F2d 171; People v Joyce, 47 AD2d 562; Sherman v United States, 356 US 369; Sorrells v United States, 287 US 435; People v Court, 52 AD2d 891.) II. The court erred in its charge regarding bribery in the second degree. III. It was an error for the court to deny McGee’s motion to dismiss when it dismissed counts two and three of the indictment. IV. The court erred in admitting tape recordings into evidence because the People failed to establish the authenticity and the proper chain of custody of the tape recordings. (People v Nicoletti, 34 NY2d 249; People v Blanda, 80 Misc 2d 79; People v Julian, 41 NY2d 340.) V. The court erred when it refused to grant appellant McGee a separate trial. VI. The court erred when it failed to dismiss the indictment against appellant McGee for violation of his rights to a speedy trial. VII. The court should reverse appellant’s conviction on the grounds of cumulative error. (People v Garcia, 7 AD2d 492; People v Carborano, 301 NY 39; People v Nuzzo, 294 NY 227; People v Zackowitz, 254 NY 192.)
    
      Edward J. Nowak, Public Defender (Deborah S. Gerber of counsel), for Lionel Albert Edwards and another, appellants.
    I. The People failed to disprove, beyond a reasonable doubt, appellant’s defense to bribery. (People v Court, 52 AD2d 891.) II. The affirmative defense of entrapment was proven as a matter of law. (People v Joyce, 47 AD2d 562; Sorrells v United States, 287 US 435; Sherman v United States, 356 US 369; United States v Russell, 411 US 423.) III. It was reversible error for the court to refuse to charge the jury on the crime of attempted bribery in the second degree. (People v Williams, 44 AD2d 216; People v Henderson, 41 NY2d 233; People v Malave, 21 NY2d 26; People v Militana, 56 AD2d 612; People v Graham, 57 AD2d 478; People v Stanfield, 44 AD2d 780, 36 NY2d 467.) IV. The court committed reversible error when it held that the tape recordings were admissible. (People v Julian, 41 NY2d 340; People v Connelly, 35 NY2d 171; People v Nicoletti, 34 NY2d 249; People v Blanda, 80 Misc 2d 79.) V. It was error for the court to deny appellants’ request to view the files of the detectives. (People v Sumpter, 75 Misc 2d 55; People v Vasquez, 49 AD2d 590; Farrell v Village Bd. of Trustees of Vil. of Johnson City, 83 Misc 2d 125; People v Puglisi, 44 NY2d 748; Brady v Maryland, 373 US 83.) VI. Reversal of the conviction of two of the codefendants requires the reversal of the third codefendant’s conviction. (People v Sowma, 252 App Div 413; People v Johnson, 18 AD2d 1017.) VII. The court should reverse appellants’ conviction on the grounds of cumulative error. (People v Garcia, 7 AD2d 492; People v Carborano, 301 NY 39; People v Nuzzo, 294 NY 227; People v Zackowitz, 254 NY 192.)
    
      John Manning Regan for Jake A. Waters, appellant.
    I. The defense of entrapment and the constitutional requirements of due process of law have so merged in the case at bar that the uncontroverted facts present a question of law for this court on the guilt of these defendants. (People v Isaacson, 44 NY2d 511; Jackson v Denno, 378 US 368; People v Huntley, 15 NY2d 72.) II. The Fourth Amendment to the Constitution of the United States and section 12 of article I of the New York State Constitution bar introduction in evidence of the tape recordings which the prosecution has used in this case. (Lopez v United States, 373 US 427; Berger v New York, 388 US 41; Katz v United States, 389 US 347; United States v White, 401 US 745.) III. The court’s charge to the jury under sections 200.05 and 135.60 of the Penal Law, in respect to the defense of coercion, was erroneous in that it imposed upon the defense a burden to show, objectively, that the police had received a benefit from defendants as a result of larceny by means of coercion. The correct test is subjective and should be whether defendants reasonably believed the police were coercing them. (People v Rudolph, 303 NY 73.) IV. The court allowed the People to use the statement of Waters against him despite a valid promise by the prosecutor not to do so under any circumstances. (Cox v People, 80 NY 500.)
    
      Lawrence T. Kurlander, District Attorney (Sharon P. Stiller of counsel), for respondent.
    I. The statutory defense of coercion and the affirmative defense of entrapment were properly submitted to the jury and resolved by them as a question of fact. (People v Court, 43 NY2d 817; United States v Steinberg, 551 F2d 510; People v Sundholm, 58 AD2d 224; People v Barton, 56 AD2d 958; People v Fisher, 35 AD2d 886; People v Fuller, 34 AD2d 852; People v Harris, 28 AD2d 1174; People v Philipson, 59 Misc 2d 420; Sorrells v United States, 287 US 435; Sherman v United States, 356 US 369.) II. The police conduct during this investigation was proper and did not constitute a deprivation of due process. (People v Isaacson, 44 NY2d 511; People v Moore, 60 AD2d 477.) III. The trial court properly admitted into evidence the monitored tape recordings and transcripts of them. (People v Smith, 58 AD2d 1005; People v Goldfeld, 60 AD2d 1; United States v Knohl, 379 F2d 427; Hoffa v United States, 385 US 293; Boyarsky v Zimmerman Corp., 240 App Div 361; United States v Amrep Corp., 560 F2d 539; People v White, 40 NY2d 797.) IV. Since none of defendants established any right to discover the personnel records of Detective Luciano and Plainclothesman D’Aprile, the trial court properly denied Edwards’ motion to produce them and Quamina’s request to subpoena or otherwise produce them. (Guzman v City of New York, 91 Misc 2d 270; People v Puglisi, 44 NY2d 748; People v Sumpter, 75 Misc 2d 55; People v Fraiser, 75 Misc 2d 756; People ex rel. Lemon v Supreme Ct. of State of N. Y., 245 NY 24; People v Coleman, 75 Misc 2d 1090; People v Norman, 76 Misc 2d 644; People v Torres, 77 Misc 2d 13; Farrell v Village Bd. of Trustees of Vil. of Johnson City, 83 Misc 2d 125; Brady v Maryland, 373 US 83; People v Bottom, 76 Misc 2d 525.) V, The Quamina/Waters trial court properly denied Quamina’s motion to dismiss 9 of the 10 bribery counts as part of a common scheme encompassing each episode of bribery; the Tolliver, Edwards and McGee court correctly denied McGee’s motion to dismiss the remaining counts of the indictment against him for insufficiency; McGee did not properly preserve this issue for review. (People v Rudd, 41 AD2d 875; People v Yore, 36 AD2d 818; People v Gibson, 191 NY 227; People v Collins, 234 NY 355; People v Smith, 61 AD2d 91; People v Rastelli, 37 NY2d 240.) VI. The various courts’ charges were correct; Tolliver did not preserve for review the issue of the court’s failure to charge attempted bribery as a lesser included offense of bribery; Waters did not preserve for review the alleged inadequacy of the court’s instructions concerning his supposed belief he was being coerced by the police. (People v Portanova, 56 AD2d 265; People v Davis, 54 AD2d 410; People v Dawson, 53 AD2d 554, 42 NY2d 945; People v Greer, 42 NY2d 170; People v Graham, 57 AD2d 478; People v Chapman, 13 NY2d 97; People v Collins, 234 NY 355; People v Hines, 168 Misc 453; People v Sher, 68 Misc 2d 917; People v Smith, 61 AD2d 91.) VII. The trial court properly denied McGee’s motion for a severance and his motion to dismiss the indictment on speedy trial grounds. (People v Bornholdt, 33 NY2d 75; People v La Belle, 18 NY2d 405; People v Sturgis, 38 NY2d 625; People v Conrad, 44 NY2d 863; People v Taranovich, 37 NY2d 442; People v Johnson, 38 NY2d 271.) VIII. The rebuttal testimony of John Mansour was properly admitted despite a promise by him to not use Waters’ statements as direct evidence against him; any objection to the alleged error was not preserved. (People v Graham, 48 AD2d 646; Harris v New York, 401 US 222; People v Wise, 46 NY2d 321.) IX. None of defendants is entitled to reversal either on the ground of cumulative errors or through any right any other defendant may possess. (People v Rivera, 39 NY2d 519; People v Kingston, 8 NY2d 384.)
   OPINION OF THE COURT

Chief Judge Cooke.

Two trials are considered here. Out of one evolve appeals by defendants McGee, Edwards and Tolliver, who were convicted, after a jury trial, of one count of conspiracy in the third degree and 28 counts of bribery in the second degree. From the other, arise appeals by defendants Quamina and Waters, who were convicted, upon a jury verdict, of one count of conspiracy in the third degree and 10 counts of bribery in the second degree. The judgments of conviction were affirmed by five separate orders of the Appellate Division and leave to appeal to this court was granted. For the reasons that follow, the order affirming the judgment of conviction of McGee should be modified to the extent of reversing the conviction on the bribery counts and dismissing the indictment as to those counts, and as so modified, affirmed. The remaining orders affirming the convictions of Quamina, Waters, Edwards and Tolliver should be affirmed.

I

At the joint trial of Quamina and Waters, the People’s theory was that the defendants proposed an arrangement whereby Rochester Police Officers Gerald Luciano and Gustave J. D’Aprile, members of the Vice Squad, would be paid to prevent the arrest of defendants’ gambling associates while enforcing the law against competitors. The evidence at trial consisted of the testimony of Luciano, D’Aprile, defendants and others, as well as tape recordings of conversations between the officers and defendants.

In an effort to enlist Quamina as an informant, Luciano suggested that a meeting be arranged to discuss organized crime activities in the black community. Quamina expressed interést, mentioning that he and Jake Waters had previously considered meeting with the officers. Quamina ultimately arranged a meeting for the morning of December 9, 1973. At this and other prearranged meetings, D’Aprile was equipped with a hidden microphone for monitoring and recording. The officers sought information concerning mob activities in the Rochester area, and Quamina and Waters complained of pressures exerted by one Lippa, a purported mob leader, on black numbers operators. Both Quamina and Waters indicated that blacks should have some control of the numbers operation in their own community and discussed the formation of a black organization to replace the Lippa organization. They stressed the need for police protection, noting that profits would be enhanced if police pressure were exerted on competing operators. The officers were offered monetary and other benefits in exchange for their assistance.

At a subsequent meeting on March 3, the agreement to pay the officers for their services was reaffirmed with a minor modification: until the plan became fully operative, the officers were to be paid for each arrest rather than at a weekly rate. A list of competing numbers operators to be arrested was given to the officers. Five arrests were made based on the information supplied. At a meeting in late April, defendants supplied the officers with a list of operators who were not to be arrested. At an earlier April meeting Quamina and Waters each gave the officers $100; at two meetings in July, Waters paid a total of $200.

The defendants asserted the defense of coercion under section 200.05 of the Penal Law and the affirmative defense of entrapment under section 40.05 of the Penal Law. The defense presented evidence that in the fall of 1974, Waters complained to a friend that he had been shaken down by some police officers and repeated that claim to an official of the State Police and a Deputy Attorney-General. Quamina had made similar complaints. At trial, both Quamina and Waters testified that their fear of being arrested if they did not co-operate was their motivation for meeting and paying the officers.

II

Defendants McGee, Edwards and Tolliver were later brought into the operation. In October, 1974, Quamina arranged an organizational meeting at which he, Edwards, Tolliver and the officers were present. Edwards, proclaiming himself spokesman for those present as well as McGee, articulated the group’s desire to start a black organization, and suggested that the officers could make money if they wanted to be "outlaws”. At a subsequent meeting with Edwards, the officers were told that they would receive a percentage of the receipts from assigned numbers writers in exchange for police protection. On November 13, there was a meeting with Edwards and McGee at which the group discussed the scope of police activity, as well as weekly payments to the police. No payments were made at that meeting. During the meeting, McGee indicated that he was in accord with Edwards’ goals. At various intervals during the ensuing months, Edwards made payments to the officers.

As in the trial of the other defendants, Edwards, Tolliver and McGee asserted coercion and entrapment defenses. According to Edwards, the officers threatened to put Edwards out of business if he did not agree to their terms. The parties finally agreed upon the sum of $100. Edwards admitted making payments but asserted that he stalled on giving information. Pressure was allegedly applied to Tolliver when Edwards failed to keep his appointments in an attempt to end the relationship. Edwards testified that he had no income from gambling, that the officers were shaking down the defendants, and that Edwards had never bribed a police officer.

III

Defendants assert numerous errors in the conduct of the trials, many of which are common to some or all of the defendants. A substantial argument is advanced by McGee alone, however, and that issue is treated first.

McGee argues that the Trial Judge erred in charging the jury that he could be found guilty of the substantive offense of bribery by virtue of his status as a conspirator. After determining that there was sufficient evidence of an agreement among the defendants to go to the jury on the conspiracy count, the court charged that each conspirator could be convicted of bribery on the basis of acts of any one of the coconspirators committed in furtherance of the conspiracy (see Pinkerton v United States, 328 US 640). The court also charged that McGee alone could be convicted of the bribery if he solicited, requested, commanded, importuned or intentionally aided another to engage in that offense (see Penal Law, § 20.00). McGee is correct in his contention that the portion of the charge concerning conspirator liability was erroneous. It is held that liability for the substantive offense may not be independently predicated upon defendant’s participation in an underlying conspiracy. As there was no evidence of McGee’s complicity in the bribery counts submitted to the jury, and thus no basis for accomplice liability, there must be a reversal of the conviction of bribery and a dismissal of the indictment as to those counts.

In rejecting the notion that one’s status as a conspirator standing alone is sufficient to support a conviction for a substantive offense committed by a coconspirator, it is noted that the Legislature has defined the conduct that will render a person criminally responsible for the act of another. Conspicuously absent from section 20.00 of the Penal Law is reference to one who conspires to commit an offense. That omission cannot be supplied by construction. Conduct that will support a conviction for conspiracy will not perforce give rise to accessorial liability (compare Penal Law, § 105.05, with § 20.00). True, a conspirator’s conduct in many instances will suffice to establish liability as an accomplice, but the concepts are, in reality, analytically distinct. To permit mere guilt of conspiracy to establish the defendant’s guilt of the substantive crime without any evidence of further action on the part of the defendant, would be to expand the basis of accomplice liability beyond the legislative design.

The crime of conspiracy is an offense separate from the crime that is the object of the conspiracy. Once an illicit agreement is shown, the overt act of any conspirator may be attributed to other conspirators to establish the offense of conspiracy (cf. People v Salko, 47 NY2d 230; People v Sher, 68 Misc 2d 917) and that act may be the object crime. But the overt act itself is not the crime in a conspiracy prosecution; it is merely an element of the crime that has as its basis the agreement (cf. People v Hines, 284 NY 93). It is not offensive to permit a conviction of conspiracy to stand on the overt act committed by another, for the act merely provides corroboration of the existence of the agreement and indicates that the agreement has reached a point where it poses a sufficient threat to society to impose sanctions (see 72 Harv L Rev 920, 998; 16 Ford L Rev 275, 277). But it is repugnant to our system of jurisprudence, where guilt is generally personal to the defendant (see Sayre, Criminal Responsibility for the Acts of Another, 43 Harv L Rev 689), to impose punishment, not for the socially harmful agreement to which the defendant is a party, but for substantive offenses in which he did not participate (Commonwealth v Stasiun, 349 Mass 38; see, generally, 56 Yale LJ 371).

We refuse to sanction such a result and thus decline to follow the rule adopted for Federal prosecutions in Pinkerton v United States (328 US 640, supra). Accessorial conduct may not be equated with mere membership in a conspiracy and the State may not rely solely on the latter to prove guilt of the substantive offense.

Turning then to the other issues raised, we address the argument advanced by defendants Quamina, Edwards, Tolliver and McGee that there was an insufficient foundation laid for the introduction of the recordings of the meetings between defendants and the officers. Defendants urge that the People failed to establish a complete chain of custody of the tapes from the time they were made until the time of trial, thus rendering them inadmissible. In examining the foundation laid in these cases, however, it cannot be said that the Trial Judges erred in permitting the tapes to be introduced into evidence.

One of the officers wore a microphone during the meetings and the tapes were made on a Kel-Kit recording system; a cassette recorder was also used for many conversations. The officers testified that they listened to the tapes immediately after they were made and determined that they accurately represented the conversations in which they had participated. There was testimony that the tapes had not been altered. From May 1, 1975 until the time of trial, the tapes were in the possession of a confidential assistant in the District Attorney’s office, who kept records of removal of tapes. The chain of •custody prior to that time is uncertain, for others had possession of the tapes at various times throughout the investigation.

At the outset, the invitation to extend to all recordings the requirements for electronic surveillance codified in CPL article 700 is declined. That comprehensive statutory scheme is designed to minimize the intrusion of electronic eavesdropping upon an individual’s right to privacy and to that end, its provisions have been strictly construed (see People v Washington, 46 NY2d 116). Particularly, we have insisted upon strict compliance with its sealing requirement (CPL 700.50, subd 2), recognizing that this serves to prevent tampering, protect the privacy interests of the participants to the intercepted conversation, and establish the chain of custody (People v Nicoletti, 34 NY2d 249, 253). When a party to the conversation consents to its recording, however, the constitutional privacy rights of other participants are not implicated (see United States v White, 401 US 745; Lopez v United States, 373 US 427; United States v Knohl, 379 F2d 427, cert den 389 US 973). Hence, it is unnecessary to superimpose the admissibility requirements of article 700 on consensual recordings.

The standard to be applied, therefore, is that applicable to any real evidence sought to be admitted. In determining whether a proper foundation has been laid for the introduction of real evidence, the accuracy of the object itself is the focus of inquiry, which must be demonstrated by clear and convincing evidence (see United States v Fuentes, 563 F2d 527, 532, cert den sub nom. Sansone v United States, 434 US 959). Accuracy or authenticity is established by proof that the offered evidence is genuine and that there has been no tampering with it (cf. People v Julian, 41 NY2d 340, 342-343). The foundation necessary to establish these elements may differ according to the nature of the evidence sought to be admitted. For instance, a chain of custody is employed when "the evidence itself is not patently identifiable or is capable of being replaced or altered” (People v Connelly, 35 NY2d 171, 174 [drugs]). Mere identification by one familiar with the object, however, will be sufficient "when the object possesses unique characteristics or markings” and any material alteration would be readily apparent (id.; see People v Flanigan, 174 NY 356).

Tape recordings made by a participant to a conversation do not fall within the category reserved for fungible evidence, such as drugs. The uniformity of these substances, making identification difficult, generally, justifies a requirement of tracing fungible goods through each hand with which it comes in contact. The inherent difficulty with fungible goods simply is not present when evidence of a conversation is sought to be introduced, for the conversation itself is unique and the participants are available to attest to its accuracy. Thus, a chain of custody is not required for the introduction of tape recordings such as those present here.

A foundation may be established by a participant to the conversation who testifies that the conversation has been accurately and fairly reproduced (see United States v Amrep Corp., 560 F2d 539, cert den 434 US 1015; United States v Steinberg, 551 F2d 510; United States v Knohl, 379 F2d 427, cert den 389 US 973, supra; Monroe v United States, 234 F2d 49, cert den 352 US 873). Proof that the evidence has not been altered may be established in a similar fashion. This testimony, if credited by the Trial Judge, is sufficient to establish that the taped conversation accurately and fairly represents the event to which it refers.

On this record, there is sufficient proof of accuracy and authenticity of the tapes offered to warrant their admission. The infirmities concerning chain of custody or inaudibility properly go to the weight of the evidence, not its admissibility (cf. People v Julian, 41 NY2d 340, supra; People v White, 40 NY2d 797).

Finally, defendants urge that the People failed to disprove the bribery defense of coercion (Penal Law, § 200.05) beyond a reasonable doubt and that the evidence establishes the affirmative defense of entrapment (Penal Law, § 40.05) as a matter of law. The record does not support these contentions; the issues were properly submitted to the jury.

The affirmative defense of entrapment is designed to prevent punishment for an offense "which is the product of the creative activity of [the State’s] own officials” (Sorrells v

United States, 287 US 435, 451). Whether a defendant is predisposed to commit an offense or was induced to commit the offense is a question of fact (see People v Freeman, 36 NY2d 768; People v Sundholm, 58 AD2d 224; People v Shangraw, 55 AD2d 796). Similarly, the coercion defense, designed to relieve from liability for bribery one who is a victim of extortion or coercion by the public servant allegedly bribed (see Hechtman, Practice Commentaries, McKinney’s Cons Laws of NY, Book 39, Penal Law, § 200.15, p 420), presents factual issues (see People v Court, 43 NY2d 817, affg 52 AD2d 891).

The record before us presents a conflict between the People’s version of events and that of defendants. Defendants asserted that the police officers induced their participation in the bribery scheme and employed coercive tactics to ensure compliance. Though the record does reveal some evidence of conduct that might be construed as harassment, there is also evidence of mutual co-operation. Hence, resolution of the issues was a purely factual matter within the province of the jury. Nor does the record compel application of this court’s recent decision in People v Isaacson (44 NY2d 511), as the facts here simply do not present the kind of reprehensible conduct condemned in that case.

We have examined the remaining arguments that have been preserved for review and find that none form the basis for reversal.

Accordingly, the order of the Appellate Division in People v McGee should be modified in accordance with this opinion by dismissing the bribery counts of the indictment and, as so modified, affirmed. The orders of the Appellate Division as to the other defendants should be affirmed.

Meyer, J.

(concurring). I concur in the result because I agree that neither the Federal nor the State Constitution requires the obtention of a warrant in relation to participant monitoring. I write, nonetheless, to express my belief that the equivocal basis for excluding such recordings from New York’s eavesdropping law (CPL, art 700), the developments in this area of the law that have since occurred, and the importance of the issue to individual privacy strongly suggest that the Legislature should review the question with a view toward imposition of controls, or limitations on use or, perhaps, even proscription.

Judges Jasen, Gabrielli, Jones, Wachtler and Fuchsberg concur with Chief Judge Cooke; Judge Meyer concurs in a separate opinion.

In People v McGee: Order modified in accordance with the opinion herein and, as so modified, affirmed.

In People v Edwards and People v Tolliver: Orders affirmed.

In People v Quamina and Waters: Orders affirmed. 
      
      . The trial court dismissed two bribery counts on the ground that there was no agreement on November 13 to pay the specific amount of $50 to each officer as charged in the indictment. The court determined, however, that there was sufficient evidence of an agreement among defendants and the remaining counts were submitted to the jury.
     
      
      . We reject McGee’s further claim that his statutory right to a speedy trial was violated by the delay between his indictment on May 1, 1975 and commencement of trial on February 14, 1977. On the motion to dismiss, court congestion was assigned as the reason for the delay and counsel for McGee in effect admitted that the People were ready for trial within three months of the indictment. Thus, the defendant is not entitled to dismissal pursuant to CPL 30.30 (People v Conrad, 44 NY2d 863).
      Nor were McGee’s rights under CPL 30.20 or the Constitution violated. Given the relevant factors, including the length of the delay, the lack of incarceration and the absence of a claim of prejudice, neither CPL 30.20 nor the Constitution would require dismissal (see People v Taranovich, 37 NY2d 442; compare People v Moore, 47 NY2d 872).
     
      
      . We are not unmindful of cases indicating that "[e]ach conspirator is liable * * * for the acts of every associate done in the effort to carry the conspiracy into effect” (e.g., People v Collins, 234 NY 355, 361; see, also, People v Luciano, 277 NY 348; People v Michalow, 229 NY 325; People v McKane, 143 NY 455). Those cases, however, do not support extending the agency rationale to impose liability for the substantive offense solely on the basis of liability for the agreement. Indeed, closer examination of each of them reveals that the defendant had actively participated to a degree sufficient to impose accessorial liability.

The Report of the Joint Legislative Committee to Study Illegal Interception of Communications (NY Legis Doc, 1956, No. 53, at pp 24-25; 1956 McKinney’s Session Laws of NY, at p 1361), noted that though recording a person’s voice without his knowledge might be unethical or reprehensible and arouses indignation "we have been unable to draw a clear line, without exceptions, at which point it might become criminal”.
