[Scan-DC] Boston: Illegal electronic surveillance

[Doug Walton]

Interesting. I always thought that if you were out in the public eye, in a
public area (not private property), you had no reasonable expectation of
privacy.

Cellphones, not scanners. My mistake - there's no cause for alarm.

Simon Glik, a lawyer, was walking down Tremont Street in Boston when he saw
three police officers struggling to extract a plastic bag from a teenager's
mouth. Thinking their force seemed excessive for a drug arrest, Glik pulled
out his cellphone and began recording.

Within minutes, Glik said, he was in handcuffs.

"One of the officers asked me whether my phone had audio recording
capabilities,'' Glik, 33, said recently of the incident, which took place in
October 2007. Glik acknowledged that it did, and then, he said, "my phone
was seized, and I was arrested.''

The charge? Illegal electronic surveillance.
