“it was unreasonable for Plaintiffs to expect that their face-to-face conversations would not be overheard by someone on the other end of a pocket dial phone call. If Plaintiffs expected that their conversations would not be overheard and recorded as they were, they could have done something to prevent it from happening. The easiest measure might have been to simply put the cell phone away while they were having private conversations. Or [Executive] could have locked his phone to prevent a pocket dial call. But they did not take those measures, or any other measure, to prevent the inadvertent phone call from being placed. If anyone must bear the brunt of the embarrassing consequences of this pocket dial, it must be the caller; not the recipient who had every right to answer the call and remain on the line. 995 F.Supp.2d 724 , 734 (E.D. Ky. 2014).”
