This story about hidden microphones is a perfect example of provocative news lacking more detail than it provides.
HIDDEN MICROPHONES
Missing from the story is how the conversations picked up by the microphones are
1.) Relayed to a reception point;
2.) Is the audio recorded or monitored in real-time;
3.) What wireless frequencies are used;
4.) How are the voices on the recording identified;
5.) How are the recordings date and time stamped;
6.) What jobs are the agents not doing while they spend time collecting audio in the streets;
7.) Is law enforcement over-staffed that they need to invent children's pastimes to keep them busy.
On and on.
