I'd be more interested in challenging Police use of
technology using this law. Police habitually use equipment
that comes under this law in their operations, and I would
be interested to see the outcome of a challenge based on it.
Almost any recording they present in court should be
eligible. Likewise any "security camera" footage, since most
of those systems are capable of recording audio.
