Court rules police can be taped

[Dan]

I've added this useful ammo to my file on this topic.
Wednesday (ie, immediately after the election) I'll be contacting my Reps to get an LSR submitted.
The LSR will change the existing wiretap law to:
a) explicitly always allow one to record one's own residence
b) explicitly always allow one to record the police

Shouldn't b) read "explicitily always allow one to record public servants"

Or is that just guaranteeing it will never pass the Senate?

I wish (b) could be "public servants", and indeed a number of people have suggested that, but the possible counters to it pretty much guarantee it'll never make it through the House, much less the Senate.

I just got off the phone with Michael Gannon, and he was very excited to hear about this case. I sent him the link to the article, and invited him to come by the forum.

He also said, "Thank everyone in the liberation movement. You guys really saved my bacon!"
