Always that darn Constitution getting in the way of government oppression! Recording private conversations (i.e., eavesdropping) is, of course, prohibited for the same reason.
It really is unconstitutional to forbid taping of police action since this is a public activity which will lead to the arrest or conviction of someone. But apperantly the constitution does not apply in such cases.
Its never a problem for the cops to infringe on our rights but their rights are somehow more meaningful.
