States like California and Maryland still need to prosecute O'Keefe for wiretapping
O'Keefe Broke Maryland And California Wiretapping Laws
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=389x6599632

The lawlessness of the Bush era has produced a culture in which criminal activity persists without prosecution. O'Keefe's earlier wiretapping should have been nipped in the bud. But no sanctions resulted, and he unfortunately progressed to more serious illegal behaviors

1. Maryland doesn't have a leg to stand on they
set up a precedent when the let Linda Tripp get away with taping Monica's conversations with President Clinton. She was warned by the Radio Shack clerk that it was illegal and she went and did it anyway. And Maryland let her go..nothing nada zilch prosecution. So they would probably ignore this also.
