"In response to a flood of Facebook and YouTube videos that depict police abuse, a new trend in law enforcement is gaining popularity. In at least three states, it is now illegal to record any on-duty police officer.

Even if the encounter involves you and may be necessary to your defense, and even if the recording is on a public street where no expectation of privacy exists."...

So is the cop charged with wiretapping if he records me on his dashcam (which, of course, is without my permission)? Um, probably not.

The deck is stacked and we are the marks.

For what it's worth, my favorite cop thinks it's a load of crap, and says that cops should have behavior that causes no concern when being photographed.

I agree with your favorite cop. IMO, as government and the unelected bureaucracy that cleaves to government gets bigger and more powerful it attracts parasites, sycophants, power hungry brown shirts, sadists, perverts, sociopaths and democrats. :Whistle

Some departments started issuing uniform cam's in addition to dash cam's. Cases of abuse dropped. Because the police knew they were being watched? Or accusers knew it was more then he said she said.

Why not let LE and people on the street video. Then everyone has a record and hopefully everyone remains civil.

Exactly.
