Simon Glik, a lawyer, was walking down Tremont Street
in Boston when he saw three police officers struggling to extract a
plastic bag from a teenager’s mouth. Thinking their force seemed
excessive for a drug arrest, Glik pulled out his cellphone and began
recording.
Within minutes, Glik said, he was in handcuffs.
“One of the officers asked me whether my phone had audio
recording capabilities,’’ Glik, 33, said recently of the
incident, which took place in October 2007. Glik acknowledged that it
did, and then, he said, “my phone was seized, and I was
arrested.’’
The charge? Illegal electronic surveillance.
