A Massachusetts woman's arrest has brought the state's strict wiretapping law into the national spotlight.
Karen Dziewit was arrested early Sunday morning outside of a Springfield home, charged with disorderly conduct, carrying an open container of alcohol and an illegal wiretap, according to the Boston Herald.
The last charge came after the 24-year-old allegedly told the police, "I’ve been recording this thing the whole time, my phone is in my purse, see you in court."
A Massachusetts statute states that a private citizen can't record another person without first getting their consent. (more)
Illinois recently overturned a similar law. This may prompt Massachusetts to do the same.
