| 0:00.0 | This is the Cato Daily Podcast for Wednesday, April 28, 2010. |
| 0:06.3 | I'm Caleb Brown. |
| 0:07.4 | Laws aimed at protecting you from being surreptitiously recorded are being used by police |
| 0:12.3 | to avoid accountability when they abuse citizens. |
| 0:15.8 | Were it not for some cameras, innocent people would have gone down for some serious crimes. |
| 0:21.6 | David Ritker's legal policy analyst at the Cato Institute offers his thoughts. |
