4. Simon Glik was stopped for a traffic violation and used his cellphone to record the event. He was arrested because of that. His lawyer, Howard Friedman, writes in the Boston globe that The Globe refers to Massachusetts as a 'two party consent' state. This is only true for secret recording. However consent is not required for openly recording sound. The Supreme Judicial Court made clear in 2001 in the case of Commmonwealth v. Hyde that "holding a recorder in plain sight would not violate the law. Since Glik's cellphone was in plain sight, he did not violate the stature and should never have been arrested.
