Re: gargoyling the police site (fwd)

Is it illegal to save realtime transcriptions of privately streamed audio
(non recorded) of a police officer?  This is something a wearable computer
could do someday (well, NatSpeak 5.0 can sorta already.. better than
nothing).  Wait a second.. what does the NSA/jails use to datamind cellphone
calls?  I guess they have a grammar for important words.. unless they have a
superior dication mode that is better than NatSpeak 5.0, which I doubt.
