"Illegal" Interviews Could Send CopBlock Founder to Jail
New Hampshire authorities use wiretap laws to target activist over his reports on police conduct
The founder of CopBlock.org has been indicted on three felony wiretapping counts in connection to a video posted to the anti-law enforcement website about alleged excessive force in a school cafeteria. …
Public officials instructed the cell phone video be deleted, but it was instead sent to Mueller, who called Manchester police for comment and recorded interviews with on-duty officers, according to a press release. He then used the calls in his CopBlock.org report, which claimed excessive force by Murphy and went viral.
