Boston cops: citizen recording of abusive busts is "illegal wiretapping": "Boston cops are using the Massachusetts electronic surveillance laws to arrest and prosecute citizens who use their cellular phones to record abusive arrests. Though they haven't been successful in prosecuting the acts, it hasn't stopped the arrests -- presumably the point isn't to secure convictions, but rather to chill the recording of illegal police activity. However, police have convicted citizens who secretly recorded their own abusive arrests, charging them with illegal wiretapping."Left: awesome states print.
Dreaming of the day I have a house and a big farmhouse table...
Why do women love shows like Law & Order? From Jezebel, "According to a new study, 'a woman fears becoming the victim of a crime, so, consciously or unconsciously, she turns to true crime books in a possible effort to learn strategies and techniques to prevent becoming murdered.'" I have always wondered about my affinity for shows like CSI and Law & Order, especially given my pro-defenant leanings and the shows blatant prosecutory bias....I could believe this explanation.
