“A Massachusetts woman faces charges of allegedly using a hidden mobile phone to audio-record her own suspicion-of-disorderly-conduct arrest.  When police inventoried her purse, they said they found a mobile phone secretly recording the incident, allegedly in violation of state wiretapping regulations.  Under Massachusetts law, people may record police officers in public places, but only if the officers are aware that a recording is taking place, according to case law.  In 2011, a federal appeals court ruled that a Boston woman openly filming police activity had her constitutional rights violated when she was arrested for filming an arrest of somebody else.”
