As a followup to the "cops on videotaping cops" thread.
This is the audio of oral arguments on the constitutionality of Illinois' wiretapping law, which makes it illegal to record audio of someone without consent - including public officials in the performance of their public duties. The ACLU is looking to get this law declared constitutional.
I know we are to respect the judiciary, but the primary judge heard at the beginning of this (Posner) is beyond ludicrous in his hypotheticals. |

->> Fascinating.
It's rather stunning to hear Posner pose all of these hypotheticals and essentially *defend* the "Right to Privacy," because – in the past – he has not championed it.
His words: "I think privacy is greatly overrated because privacy basically means concealment. People conceal things in order to fool other people about them."
