Videotaping the Police - Page 3

A great deal of the cameras taking your pic in public places have audio.

God forbid we point out faults of cops.

I would not defend the cop for pulling his weapon. I would defend him for stopping the idiot on the bike. I would also defend the biker from being charged with anything other then a moving violation.

Getgo · 07-22-2010, 05:37 PM

Well I agree. The guy on the bike had no reason for driving that fast.

ZenGum · 07-22-2010, 11:32 PM

Indeed, bike guy is a grade one dickhead, and I thank the officer for stopping him before he killed someone.

I'm even okay with the officer coming out with a preemptive gun draw - bike guy could well be armed and dangerous - but he should have had the badge out at the same time.

The line on taping police is kind of fuzzy, there is no definite laws about it. But this can go from something that is protected by the first amendment to a felony. I believe it was in Pennsylvania that police have an expected right to privacy, but you don't.

Furthermore, it is very convenient how often those dash board cameras don't work when the police are at fault.

IMHO the problem with police is that they have vast authority they can make you whatever they want and if you don't they will kill you and can get away with it 99% of the time.

I'm not sure if that is really a cause/effect situation or more of a coincidence. I mean, who is really going to name their kid Rodney King in this day and age?

In one year, the name Kunta Kinte replaced Michael as the most popular boy's name.

Still waiting to meet a Kunta Kinte.

Sorry tw, but that is too easy to prove false.

No names starting with the letters "kun" have ever been in the top 1000 most popular names in the US.

Well it should have been. He later went on to become the Chief Engineer of the USS Enterprise.

Finally, some sanity.

Thank you, Circuit Court Judge Emory A. Plitt Jr., for throwing out the wiretapping charges against motorcycle driving speed freak Air National Guard staff sergeant Anthony Graber.

And Cassilly is still an ass.

Quote:

But Harford County State's Attorney Joseph I. Cassilly said the ruling "will make it more difficult for the police to do their jobs" and warned that people armed with cameras might soon point their lenses at car accident scenes "and eavesdrop as police take medical history" from patients. Cassilly could appeal, but said on Monday that he had not yet read the judge's ruling.

Graber still faces charges for speeding and reckless driving, as he should.

NAh - he's got a point there. Then again maybe he should be more interested in how the current administration is trying to expand their wiretapping into emails... Thats scary, but for another thread... If I could only find it.

BigV · 09-28-2010, 05:12 PM

it's not the administration that is asking for that expansion.

It is the FBI.
