One of those slow news days. Perhaps everyone is filling sandbags before the hurricane hits?
Another confusing case. It's illegal, but if you have good intentions you will be acquitted?
When can you eavesdrop on police? Chicago case exposes legal gray area.
A Chicago woman was acquitted Wednesday of felony eavesdropping charges for recording two police officers on her BlackBerry phone without their consent.
The case points to a legal gray area, in which the recording was clearly against state law, but a jury acquitted Tiawanda Moore because it felt she was trying to expose wrongdoing within the department. The two internal affairs investigators were allegedly trying to pressure her to drop a complaint she had filed against a Chicago police officer who she said had fondled her and given her his personal phone number after he responded to a domestic disturbance call in her home.
