“Waite emailed his recording of the call to the sheriff's office records department and requested an internal investigation. A month later, Waite was accused of five counts of illegal wiretapping for recording the conversation with the sergeant and four other calls with sheriff’s employees.“
That reminded me of a case where an employee was recording their coworker sleeping through the night shift, and it was the employee recording that got into trouble because recording a video (or audio) is against the rules. Nothing happened to the employee sleeping through the night shift. Crazy. What to even do in such cases, really? The recording was just proof or evidence, otherwise it would have been one employee's words against the other.
