Tribune Editorial: The Legislature was right to allow recorded conversations

The bill proposed making Utah a two-party consent state for recording conversations, in effect requiring that both parties consent to any conversation prior to being recorded. A few states, like California, have adopted such a policy, which largely negates the purpose of recording conversations in the first place.

Last week MormonLeaks published a taped conversation between a woman and Joseph L. Bishop, who is a former president of the LDS Missionary Training Center. In the conversation, Bishop admitted asking to see the woman’s breasts over 30 years ago when she was a missionary under his authority.
