XXX cites the case of a New York City Police Detective who was secretly taped by a suspect during an interrogation that the detective initially denied took place during the suspect's murder trial.
In the first case, even though the detective was later charged with 12 counts of perjury, XXX noted that the police interrogation probably would not have taken place had the suspect announced to the detective that he was recording the session.
XXX argues that there should be no questions about members of the public being allowed to record such interactions.
