Dover man arrested for taping his DWI investigation in Rochester
ROCHESTER — A 48-year-old Chestnut Street man was arrested early this morning for wiretapping for allegedly recording police while they were investigating him for driving while intoxicated.
Police say they were patrolling the downtown area at 2:54 a.m. when they discovered Christopher A. Power of 52 Chestnut St. sitting in the driver's seat of a vehicle with its motor running at the Rochester Common.
After speaking with Power, police began investigating him for driving while intoxicated and arrested him. During the arrest an audio recording device was discovered.
"During a search after the arrest an audio recorder was discovered on the driver's seat cushion," Capt. Paul Callaghan said. "The officer noticed that the recorder was recording."
Power was charged with driving while intoxicated and wiretapping, which is a Class B felony.
Power is being held on $2,500 cash will be arraigned this afternoon at Rochester District Court.

Another example of why keeping guns from supposed "felons" SOUNDS a lot better than it turns out to be in actual practice. Pretty soon jaywalking will be a felony. Something tells me this is NOT what they had in mind in 1968 when they passed the GCA.
