It's amazing that sexual harassment (or any kind of harassment, really) can survive the era of the cell phone recording? Allegations of misbehavior carry far more weight, once there is a recording that can tickle people's sense of voyeurism and outrage.

> It's amazing that sexual harassment (or any kind of harassment, really) can survive the era of the cell phone recording? In some jurisdictions it's illegal to record someone without their knowledge or permission, so the victim of the harassment can get nailed to the wall for trying to gather evidence to support their case. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_recording_by_civilians https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legality_of_recording_by_civil...

  I'm going to guess that the penalty for that is a slap on the wrist compared to what would be recorded.

Many states forbid recording without consent.

  Most states also forbid sexual harassment.

    On a civil law level. Wire tapping is a criminal offense.

      At the same time, the DA that attempts to try that case would be crucified. Especially if the harassment was bad.

        Or, your harassment suit will fall apart, because you're an admitted felon, and obviously can't be trusted. There's a reason why nobody actually does this.
