Motorcyclist Wins Taping Case Against State Police
stevegee58 writes "Slashdot readers may recall the case of a Maryland motorcyclist (Anthony Graber) arrested and charged with wiretapping violations (a felony) when he recorded his interaction with a Maryland State Trooper. Today, Judge Emory A. Pitt threw out the wiretapping charges against Graber, leaving only his traffic violations to be decided on his October 12 trial date. 'The judge ruled that Maryland's wire tap law allows recording of both voice and sound in areas where privacy cannot be expected. He ruled that a police officer on a traffic stop has no expectation of privacy.' A happy day for freedom-loving Marylanders and Americans in general."
Irony... you keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
"Have you ever thought about just turning off the TV, sitting down with your kids, and hitting them?"
I don't think he's saying that but you have the whole internet at your disposal - it is almost guaranteed that there are sites dedicated to watching middle aged men in bathrooms if that's what floats your boat.
Good to hear something done right.
Don't worry, they'll get another judge and fix this.
I do not think it means what you think it means.
Like rain on your wedding day?
I stole a bunch of steaks from WalMart once, in early spring. They'd just gotten a shipment of employee caps in, so I snagged one of those and put it on. I grabbed one of those aprons, too. Then I went out to the garden center where the grills were, and fired one up (nice of them to keep the charcoal and lighter fluid nearby). Then I told one of the employees that we were running a promotion and asked him to get me a bunch of steaks. I grilled them up, ate a bunch myself, and served the rest to other customers. Then I went home.
(believe it...or not)
That was me, but it's your fault for having bumper stickers with such a small font.
