Apparently, a man in Pennsylvania is being charged for wiretapping. But what he did was videotape police who stopped him while driving.
How can it be a crime to videotape something happening in a public street? On private property, I understand, but in public? I don't care that the law makes it a crime to record a conversation without the consent of those being recorded. Do you really have a reasonable expectation of privacy in a public place? Especially if you're a public servant, like a police officer?
Why wouldn't this kind of prosecution outlaw such things as the Rodney King video? Or for that matter, the Tienanmen tape?
