Police officers do not have a reasonable expectation of privacy while on the job.

ok, so now you have abandoned your argument that this person should be afforded whistleblower protections for breaking the law and now you are arguing that they didn’t break the law?

you are wrong either way. becoming a police officer doesn’t automatically sacrifice ones ‘reasonable expectation of privacy’.

like so many of the other redditors you’re confusing how you feel the world should work with how it actually does. you can argue with me forever but you are objectively wrong about this.

whistleblower protections don’t allow you to break the law in order to gather evidence in any way that you may see fit. so it’s still illegal to record your co-workers without their knowledge even if they are being racist.

so no, this isn’t what whistleblower protections cover at all, which is why this person is still being charged. I hope that clears it up for you.

recording your coworkers joking that someone died from eating too many tacos isn’t really a case of whistleblowing because saying racist stuff isn’t illegal. so this isn’t precisely why whistleblowing laws exist at all.

it seems like that’s the whole point of having the kid do this exercise
