No he didn't he was in a public place, a hotel lobby when he recorded or filmed the meeting.

Recording a private conversation isn't against s federal law, else Romney's private recording has to be prosecuted ( 47%)
It astounds me how liberals hate sting operations but loved all of them when the liberal press were doing them.

I thought recording law varied state to state. Does California consider a restaurant a public place, thus there is no expectation of privacy? Does California require both parties to be aware of phone call recordings? I believe it does. If so, he broke the law if he didn't tell the other person on the call that, it was being recorded. Also, the public place exclusion may not pply if he were a party to the conversation, only a bystander.

Regardless, those were paid actors that recorded and lured that conversation.

I can see the actors getting in trouble but not O"Keefe.
