Actually, here in California it is illegal to video tape or audiotape a "confidential" conversation unless both parties agree - unlss you are the police, of course.
I had a close friend who was having problems with CPS. Her ex had made some ridiculous claims to CPS and so she was having to deal with the social worker. She would talk to the social worker on the phone and when she would read the social worker's report of the conversation that was submitted to the court, it was completely different than the actual conversation. She finally taped her conversation with the social worker, and when the social worker submitted another false report of what was said, my friend produced a taped copy of the conversation, proving that the social worker was lying. Rather than discipline the social worker, the court required my friend to turn over the tape, and threatened her with civil and criminal penalties for taping the conversation.
We later discovered that the social worker was a friend of the ex-husband's new girlfriend, and the court never did anything about that either. Just one of the many reasons I have nothing but contempt for the CPS system.
I understand. In this case, PPLA apparently claimed this violated medical privacy.
