Interesting. I always thought that if you were out in the public eye, in apublic area (not private property), you had no reasonable expectation ofprivacy. -----Original Message-----From: scan-dc-bounces at mailman.qth.net[mailto:scan-dc-bounces at mailman.qth.net] On Behalf Of b_thom at juno.comSent: Thursday, January 14, 2010 11:13 AMTo: Scan-DC at mailman.qth.netSubject: [Scan-DC] Boston: Illegal electronic surveillanceCellphones, not scanners. My mistake - there's no cause for alarm.http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/01/12/police_fight_cellphone_recordingsSimon Glik, a lawyer, was walking down Tremont Street in Boston when he sawthree police officers struggling to extract a plastic bag from a teenager'smouth. Thinking their force seemed excessive for a drug arrest, Glik pulledout his cellphone and began recording.Within minutes, Glik said, he was in handcuffs."One of the officers asked me whether my phone had audio recordingcapabilities,'' Glik, 33, said recently of the incident, which took place inOctober 2007. Glik acknowledged that it did, and then, he said, "my phonewas seized, and I was arrested.''The charge? Illegal electronic surveillance.____________________________________________________________Love SpellClick here to light up your life with a love spell!http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/c?cp=TIT6V__ye_Z9mJtjIdDxIAAAJ1DTzo1j0zK4CKewKFoZc-9IAAYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARwAAAAA=______________________________________________________________Scan-DC mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/scan-dcHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Scan-DC at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html______________________________________________________________Scan-DC mailing listHome: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/scan-dcHelp: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htmPost: mailto:Scan-DC at mailman.qth.netThis list hosted by: http://www.qsl.netPlease help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
