• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.
  • The forum will be down for about an hour this weekend for maintenance. I apologize for the inconvenience.

As far as recording conversations go, you may want to take a look at http://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.73.030 which states,

(b) Private conversation, by any device electronic or otherwise designed to record or transmit such conversation regardless how the device is powered or actuated without first obtaining the consent of all the persons engaged in the conversation.

And given the local PD's disrepect and wanton misinterpretation of the law, do you think it would really matter to the officer that is just looking for a reason to arrest you?

Given the fact that a violation of a persons civil rights can put them in a civil predicament as well as a possible suspension/termination from their department will calm the majority of them. The ones that it does not calm will be put in their place eventually.
