Two men face federal charges for allegedly recording a phone conversation between former Buffalo Bills General Manager Buddy Nix and Tampa Bay Buccaneers GM Mark Dominik, WGRZ-TV reports. According to the Office of U.S. Attorney William Hochul in Buffalo, N.Y., Joshua Barber, 20 and Nicholas Kaiser, 20, both of Plymouth, Massachusetts, were charged by criminal complaint with intentionally intercepting a wire communication and with making a telephone call without disclosing their identity with the intent to annoy or harass the person at the called number. The complaint further states that after the conversation was recorded, defendants Barber and Kaiser sold the unauthorized recording to a media outlet. The defendants will make an initial appearance on June 4, 2013 at 10:00 a.m. before U.S. Magistrate Judge H. Kenneth Schroeder. "Under limited circumstances not relevant here, the privacy of communications--a discussion with one's doctor, among family members and friends, between business associates, or indeed any conversation intended to be private--is the expectation of every citizen," said U.S. Attorney Hochul. "This office will continue to enforce laws which protect the privacy of such communications." Source: WGRZ TV
