Fosters backs AG look into police wiretapping

Foster's editorial page comes out in favor of the Attorney General's office taking another look at whether Portsmouth police officers broke the state's wiretapping statute:

The controversy stems from audio recording equipment installed to monitor employees. According to reports, the purpose was “to protect employees wrongfully accused of rudeness and/or document inappropriate conduct by employees with the public.”
