[2002] EWCA Crim 385

The covert tape recording of conversations between suspected offenders whilst they were under arrest and detained in police cells, although infringing the European Convention on Human Rights 1950 Art.8, were not in direct conflict with any provision of the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984 or the PACE codes and the trial judge was entitled to admit the evidence under his discretion.
