  Wiretap might stick under NH law

  on New Hampshire Police Charge Man With 'Wiretapping' Because He Made A Phone Call During Traffic Stop

  I'm an expert in wiretap (patents and I was on the team that developed the system that caught Blogo). In most states, to record a call you only need one party consent. That means if the driver knew he was recording, it would be ok. But the problem is that NH is one of a handful of states that requires that all parties on a recording consent to being wiretapped. That said, it stinks.
  
  I'd say it's the cops responsibility to check for guns and tape recorders.
