So recording a phone call (without consent) is a reason for locking someone up for 21 years?

Good question. Here is a complete transcript that I have typed up of the 24 second long phone call that is the controversial call in question. (source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEhFwI6IyMU)

Patrol Captain Office, can I help you?

Ah yes, I was calling to see if there was a comment about a video that is surfacing on line of Detective Murphy slamming a 17 year old child on top of a table.

Well, I haven't seen the video. Where is it?

It's on a web site called CopBlock.org.

OK, I'll take a look. (Click.)
