What's the price of confidentiality? Secrets we would like to know. If people want privileged talk between client-attorney, -doctor, priest, and so then they have to accept that some secrets remain secret. We have one detailed case and then a general complaint about others. How many of the complaints were trumped-up over domestic squabbles?

I think it is much more disturbing that one does not have the right to secretly record a dialog between a police officer stopping a citizen. It's a criminal offense to do so. A police officer can overstep his bounds and you could not prove it legally with a secret recording.

Don't doubt the truth of what you say LoneRanger but If you could provide a cite to such a law I would appreciate it. Never heard of such a thing before. Rodney King and the video recorders installed in Police cars would seem to go against what you are saying. Thanks in advance.

I don't think that this is correct. Cite, please?
