Looks as though someone has been following the NZ Dash 8 accident and subsequent court actions by the police in being able to get hold of and use the CVR transcript/tape for criminal prosecution/evidence fairly closely and has decided to try for new depths.
Maybe it should be suggested to these people that we put voice recorders into their offices and workplaces and then listen to them on the grounds they may be hiding (or worse, thinking)criminal intent.
Is this not going against the ICAO recommendation that CVR's be only used for accident investigation??
Dark times indeed if this is allowed through.
