The proliferation of consumer recording devices (e.g. audio/video recorders in the form of phones that everyone is expected to have) seems to so far have been a good thing (thanks BLM). I can only think a lot of sexual harassment cases that were previously “he said/she said” will turn into “he said/she said – and she has it on tape”, which changes the legal dynamic significantly. Although there’s also the wiretap laws/recording people without permission angle which I think deserves serious consideration.
On the downside, I suppose it’s only a matter of time before a James O’Keefe-type character records something innocuous and edits it to appear incriminating, so there’ll always be some assclown to rain on every parade.
