Having been the newsroom law enforcer… and still needing to know the law for our micro-news org … I’d want to see an example of what you are referring to. Consent is assumed if for example the recording device is visible – maybe what looks undercover actually had a small camera or recorder that would have been visible to the ambushee/interviewee and they just never said “stop”?
