C2C Technology and privacy expert Lauren Weinstein joined guest host Ian Punnett to discuss the ubiquity of recording devices and how often we are being secretly recorded. "If you're in a metropolitan area, in many cities, you could be captured by hundreds or thousands of cameras a day," Weinstein revealed, noting how police cameras, specifically, have opened their own troublesome can of worms. The rules about police cameras, the privacy issues surrounding them, and what the public may have access to are different in every city, he explained. And research is showing police cameras do not make it any easier to determine what has happened in a given situation, Weinstein added. He commented on the recent revelation about attorney Michael Cohen secretly recording Donald Trump, calling it unethical if the client has not been informed prior to the recording. "There are no standard laws on this and they vary widely here in the US on a state to state basis," he said. In a two-party consent state, the person recording must inform other participants, Weinstein continued. He also described how consent can be given simply by continuing a conversation after having reasonable knowledge one is going to be recorded.
