For those that dig these up, this is the kind of crap you're going to start seeing regularly just in an attempt to hide the actual conditions here.

I wonder if you can torrent the video, or if it's available anywhere else?

Damn, he should've spread that far and wide to alternative media instead of just putting it on youtube. Hats off to him for stepping up, though

Florida is a two party consent state...my understanding is that you cannot record a telephone conversation unless you get the other person's permission first.

I assume that is why this guy was arrested but the $50,000 bond and raiding of his home and confiscation of his equipment is extreme.

If you read the article pcosmar posted, it seems to say that the law doesn't include government officials due to some sort of "government sunshine" clause, which was apparently written by John McCain :D (j/k)

Had you not denoted you were joking I would have 100% believed McCain came up with that law.

I would be surprised if anything lawfully is done without having a gun pointed at their head.
