BOSTON -- The state's highest court on Friday upheld the conviction of a man who secretly recorded police after they pulled him over. The Supreme Judicial Court in a split decision ruled that Michael Hyde violated the state's electronic surveillance law, which prohibits secret recordings..... Hyde, a rock musician, said he recorded Abington police because he thought they unfairly targeted him for a traffic stop on Oct. 26, 1998, because of his long hair, leather jacket and his sports car. Hyde recorded officers using an obscenity, asking him if he had any cocaine in his car, and threatening to send him to jail. Several days later, he brought the tape to police headquarters to try to prove he was harassed. Instead, police charged Hyde with unlawful wiretapping.(Excerpt, use link for rest of article).

Typical example of a socialist court using a law intended to protect an individual freedom, [to be free from secret recordings of private matters], -- and twisting it to apply to a public matter, - a traffic stop.

Socialism is a political disease, and as we see, it has even infected some here at FR.
