Does your cell phone have voice record capability ?

If so, and you happen to live in California, Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, or Washington, you may be inviting felony wiretapping charges just by virtue of the fact that your phone is on your pocket or purse.

Keeps getting better and better, doesn't it ?

I think you missed the part about him being arrested for disorderly conduct, trespassing, and resisting arrest. He wasn't arrested for wire-tapping, the cops just tacked that charge on because he was obviously being an a-hole.
