Submission + - Public Videotaping is Wiretapping?
AtomicSnarl writes: When the Carlisle, PA, police noticed their traffic stop was being videotaped, they arrested the video taper for felony wiretapping. From the story: 'Kelly is charged under a state law that bars the intentional interception or recording of anyone's oral conversation without their consent.'
Hasn't it already been settled about the 'expectations of privacy' in a public place? What of the next Rodney King tape? What about cell phone video with sound showing up on YouTube? Political Speeches where it's open to the public, but a 'no camera' policy? Newshound video sold to the local TV station — Will/can they then charge you with wiretapping for recording anyway?
