The ethical justification for any body of law is that it protects the weak from the strong. A bill now before the Utah Legislature is apparently intended to do exactly the opposite, and thus should be tossed out at the earliest opportunity.
House Bill 330 is a measure that would make it illegal in this state, as it already is in 12 other states, for one participant in a conversation to record that exchange without first giving notice to, and receiving consent from, the other party or parties.
Out of any context, that might not seem like a bad idea, or even a controversial one.
