I think if a person is legally present at a particular spot, he should have the right to record anything he can hear himself at that location. This is somewhat similar to the general rule for recording video. Do something in public and you can’t stop others from recording it.

Planting microphones or bugs to record conversations where people have a reasonable expectation of privacy should be illegal without a warrant. Especially if you are not one of the parties to that conversation.

I agree.

Let's get rid of all anti-taping laws.

Until then, enforce them.

I am fed up with the feral government selectively enforcing federal laws.

I agree with Mr. O’Keefe. In fact, I have a couple of webcams I’d like to install in his living room, bathroom and bedroom. Not for me, but for the internet.

The public has a right to know.

O’Keefe set up stings, face-to-face. He didn’t flat out “eavesdrop”.
I hope Cornhole goes to jail.

There is a BIG difference between taping McConnell discussing campaign tactics, and govt officials being taped during the course of their duties. I consider the campaign issue should have secrecy, while the other example, not.

I am wondering more and more about this.

When somebody is surreptitiously recorded, and the recordings are called “scandalous”, though there is nothing illegal or in any way scandalous about them, it should make you wonder.

Motherf#*@!er Jones was AGAINST the Boosh administration engaging in surveillance of persons in communication with KNOWN members of Al Qaeda.

The Left is decidedly PRO-Islamic terrorist and anti-American.

The flip side is that they can’t invoke the same law against conservatives. Well, they can, and will, but if the left is asserting these laws are bogus, well, we might as well take advantage of the license.

so what did James O’Keefe think about Nixon. Oh wait, he wasn’t born until ten years after. He still lives with his parents!
