Pig magazines often have articles endorsing video cameras to protect the pigs. Of course, when it shows the pig in bad light, the recording is "unavailable."

What was the part about new bans. That sounded to me like they are just misinterpreting old bans, or just bluffing.

Just tell the cop about the difference between legal and lawful. I'm sure it'll save you. :oo-->

If I caught a cop on tape doing something excessive and was told to turn it off, I'd like to think I wouldn't. I'd like to think a jury would see my side if taken to court. Then I wake up from my wonderful dream where the world I want to live in dissolves and the world I do live in snaps back into frame.

The key here is that some laws prohibit recording private exchanges without permission. Anything a cop says or does is a public matter.

If a cop asks you to stop recording, you tell him everything he says or does will be recorded and may be used as evidence against him. If he takes the recorder by force you can then charge him with destroying evidence.

If anyone does this, I would suggest having a second person recording video of you recording the police.
But make sure it's at a distance and use a shotgun mic so that you'll have evidence of them destroying the evidence.

Sounds nice Saul, BUT there is this thing called reality :D a lot of the problem is; the county,state or federal Prosecuters stand behind LE and won't follow up with charges against them, and it doesn't stop there, you have judges that protect the crooked ones too....


I cannot understand how the video or picture taking of someone, anyone, in a Public place could ever be illegal

Could you post a video of yourself showing how this is done?

No kidding. unless the video is instantly uploaded, a pig can make your camera and evidence disappear. Hell, they even make their own dashcam disappear when needed. They can be more forceful than a subpoena.

A pig can make your camera, your evidence, and your life disappear when you "fail to follow a 'lawful' [sic] order" (which, of course, means anything the pig tells you to do). "A police department investigation has found the officers 'feared for their safety,' and believed the camera was a firearm. The suspect died after being hit with several rounds from the officers' service pistols. The department has concluded the officers' actions were justified, and therefore, lawful."
