Slightly off topic, but I mentioned earlier how we record all emergency calls in the UK. Today, a man was found guilty of killing his girlfriend's six-week-old baby, while he was babysitting for a few hours. During the trial, text messages he sent to the mother were read out, texts that said the baby was fine and sleeping. However, the emergency call he'd made was recorded and used against him.

This is just one reason why all emergency calls should be recorded.
Throughout his trial he had insisted that Alfie had simply stopped breathing and he had frantically battled to revive him, giving mouth-to-mouth and CPR, until paramedics arrived. But Pearce was heard to say that Alfie was cold during his urgent 999 call to the ambulance service on August 16 last year,
suggesting a considerable amount of time had passed before he had acted.
