Quote:He said the Baltimore employees did not know they were being videotaped. He said Hannah Giles and James O'Keefe, the supposed prostitute and pimp, consistently misrepresented their intentions. He said the ACORN employees, a part-time receptionist and a part-time tax preparer, filed no tax returns and provided no assistance. ACORN now is trying to determine whether the videotaping broke any laws, Katzenberg said.
Quote:In 12 states (California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, and Washington) you're required to get the permission of all parties on the line before making any kind of recording. In the rest of the country, any single member that's part of the conversation can legally record it without consent from the other parties. And as Network World notes, wiretapping laws largely extend to in-person communications now, so no wire is required.

So video in police cars are illegal? in those states? The MSNBC "to catch a predator" series breaks state law? Video surveillance in stores, ATM's, and cell phone videos are illegal?
And since when does a person engaging in a criminal act get to say that he is not guilty because a video showing him committing a crime has to be tossed because it was obtained by breaking wiretapping laws.
