Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly: Lawyer settles cell phone suit against city, cops for $170K by Matt:

After a judge threw out criminal charges of illegal wiretapping, aiding the escape of a prisoner, and disturbing the peace against Simon Glik, he filed a civil rights suit against the city and the arresting officers in U.S. District Court, aided by the American Civil Liberties Union of Massachusetts and Boston attorneys Howard Friedman and David Milton.

The settlement follows a landmark decision last August by the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which ruled that the First Amendment protects the right to record police carrying out their duties in a public place.
