karen's the without Chicopee
Massachusetts was arrested over the
weekend for disorderly conduct
and open not container violations shoes
apparently
loudly screaming yelling and eventually
her neighbors reported to the police
once they brought her in arrested her
our situation got worse when they found
something in her bag
was a weapon it wasn't drugs it was our
smartphone when she had very cogently
set to record
her arrest it turns out that that in
Massachusetts goes against their
wiretapping laws
but because she recorded arrest without
the arresting officers consensual
violated the state statute against
wiretapping
and according to Massachusetts law
private citizens are allowed to record
video and audio public officials
including the police
in a public place but they do have to
inform the official
up the recording something she did not
do which I'm sure that it should inform
the cops issue is reporting that I'm
into
they will yes go ahead right away no
problem and that is your legal right to
do so
yes shows how they would respond it's a
list review here arm
the american government can wiretap all
of us can find out who were calling when
we're calling them
can look at our phone records but if you
wanna bust dares to wiretap
wiretap turn on the audio on her pony
while the cops are in the middle of
arresting her
how dare you illegal you have to go to
gym
I would consent to her going to jail we
also put keep Alexander
Michael Hayden in all the head so that
essay in jail as well
that and director James clapper Laura
give the guy who said
always the least untruthful thing I
could say in bed why does issues the
same two passes at
shipping all you know what I redid
record you but it was a lease on
truthful thing I could do
pass sorry it's good enough for the
Director of National Intelligence good
enough for a random lady Massachusetts
right
one also I gathered it but I didn't
listen to it yet
and gathering the information is not
against the law yeah
this metadata yeah commented it hungry
Paul
but yeah unfortunate she doesn't look
like she's going to be on the flip
through a loophole in this case but
I think that this it's good that this
happened at least there's a silver
lining in that it once again gets us to
talk about this issue because is a
battle that we've been waging across the
country for a few years to try to get
more I guess surveillance our coverage
what the police are doing
and it goes to dash cams and dashboard
audio which mysteriously seem to be
turned off all the time when the police
are doing something bad
but the police are fighting against that
they don't want to have the cameras on
their shirts and things like that
obviously
and yet I've been trying all day to come
up with the situation
in which it would be bad for the rest of
us bad for society bad for the justice
system
that an interaction with the police was
reported it either gets nothing
where it gets police mistreatment love
the the suspect
or maybe even the suspect mistreating
the police in which case did not have
any way it seems like a win win no
matter what
here perhaps a cop still quite see it as
a win-win
its but all win-win for justice I should
say
my that's why it is to be avoided at all
costs
yep unfortunately as the right now in
this is a Sunday we don't know what's
going to happen to karen is the wet
best of luck to her but it is apparent
against a lot less chance do you
remember when it was
like so easy to destroy the event play
on 24 like to have a tape recording
don't look like step on it minutes gone
forever now I think our phones like
impossible to strike you know how you
and I strike wanna try stepping on that
cloud where it went exactly how can I
