He was in his car. Speaking on the radio to a police dispatcher.
That’s generally not a public conversation.
This conversation was released by somebody within the dispatch unit. They are the ones that should be disciplined.
“He was in his car.”
On duty drawing a public paycheck. And I’ll bet that car wasn’t his personal vehicle. The fact that there’s a police radio in it is a clue.
“Speaking on the radio to a police dispatcher.”
Paid for by the taxpayer. Therefore it’s subject to FOIA and is in no way “private”.
“That’s generally not a public conversation.”
Yes it is. See FOIA.
“This conversation was released by somebody within the dispatch unit.”
If it was, and you have zero proof of that btw, good for whoever did it.

Anyone who had a police scanner could hear it.
