Prosecution lawyers for an Illinois school district have decided not
to move forward with their case against Paul Boron, who was charged
with felony eavesdropping at age 13 for recording audio of a meeting
with his middle school principal.

Terri Miller, president of the nonprofit Stop Educator Sexual Abuse,
Misconduct and Exploitation, thought the district was wrong to bring
the charge due to the chilling effect on students seeking to expose
wrongdoing.

“What child is going to come forward and try the same thing?” she said
after being notified of Boron’s case. “It will have a deterrent effect
on children to report, to speak up when something is wrong.”

Further, First Amendment advocates and other legal experts think the
state’s eavesdropping law could be vulnerable to a constitutional
challenge.

We had better be on our best behaviour at all times!
All that continual niceness will be rather exhausting.  :)
