LAPD Capt. Kelly Muniz said the department has not received a call from the labor group or any other agency asking that detectives probe the matter, so the LAPD is not investigating.
A leaked recording of L.A. City Council members and a labor official includes racist remarks. Council President Nury Martinez apologizes; Councilmember Kevin de León expresses regret.
Susan Seager, an adjunct professor at UC Irvine School of Law and a longtime media lawyer, said the act of taping the conversation could be a violation of California law forbidding secretly recording people who have a reasonable expectation of privacy. A civil lawsuit could be filed against the person who recorded the conversation over that potential violation, or it “could be prosecuted criminally, which is extremely rare.
However, she noted that “there have been cases where people have recorded people illegally and lost. … There are cases where people have been held responsible under civil lawsuits and some limited criminal cases.” From there, Reddit’s specific policies — which Seager said she has not reviewed — on responding to subpoenas would come into play.
