Greenwich Free Press has finally caught up with the Boland story, and boy, does owner/editor Leslie Yager hate it

”Project Veritas Targets Greenwich In A “Gotcha” Video” Oh, boo hoo.

Leslie explodes for five paragraphs attacking James O’Keefe and Project Veritas before finally revealing what the “heavily edited”, “taped without [Boland’s] knowledge” videotape “allegedly” shows.

And, after reporting on local officials’ responses, she returns to the attack:

As the town waits on tenterhooks for additional videos to hit the internet, one wonders if people filmed without their consent or knowledge over the summer even remember what they thought were private conversations over a drink in a bar.

Commenters on Facebook have asked if this undercover tactic is legal.

In California all parties to any confidential conversation must give their consent to be recorded. Both civil and criminal penalties are available to victims of illegal recordings.

And what does California have to do with this? Yeager doesn’t explain, but does concede, “In the case of hidden cameras in Connecticut, the state requires at least one party’s consent to record an in-person conversation.”

Honey, our former Cos Cob assistant principal was not recorded in California: not a redwood or jet-flying celebrity eco-warrior in sight. And when you next see your friend, warn him that getting sloshed while talking with strangers is always a bad idea. In winos, there’s veritas.
