Edit: Let’s record all pols secretly
In the Moscow-Pullman Daily News, Bill McKee editorializes:
"It's too bad we don't get to hear the secret recording that Republican Rep. Ron Nate of Rexburg is in hot water for making. He was accused by Idaho Senate Pro Tem Brent Hill of covertly recording their conversation before the May primary. Before the primaries Hill announced he would be backing Nate's opponent, an unusual move since Republicans traditionally endorse incumbents within their party. Nate won the primary anyway. Nate denied a public records request for the recording by The Post Register on the grounds it would infringe on his privacy rights. He didn't mention any concern over Hill's privacy rights. We can't help wondering if his answer would have been different if he hadn't won the primary." More here.
Question: What would you think of a person who secretly recorded your conversation with him or her?
