I think that goes against the freedom of press.

Absolutely absurd. They are public servants. They serve us. Thus state is communist.

diginet.net. Just buy the sunglasses or pen. They video tape evrything without anyone knowing.

Why record them on a cell phone when you could shoot them with an unregistered firearm? Of course, you won't catch me doing so, but I just thought I'd put that out there.

police privacy laws have been violated....I thought when you were working on the job as a public servant you had no privacy....?

That guy got his charges dismissed. Thats so stupid. He did nothing wrong.

If they can watch us, we should be able to watch them. Simple as that.

I'm glad the charges in the 1st two cases were dismissed but this shit need to go to trial so precedent can be set.

they will still arrest.
who will babysit the babysitters

Don't talk to the police.

according to the guy next to me at work these privacey laws have been in place for 30 years. apparently you can also get arrested for filming the public out of your window with a camera.

Well the article talked about their original intent to be preventing private dicks from taping people without their consent.

Just another set of laws that need to be rewritten for the digital age.

dick used to be slang for policemen if i'm not mistaken

Oh wait so it's okay for the tsa to scan naked bodies in the airports, but we can't film a person who serves the public?

You are correct, I think it was specifically applied to detectives though.

Dick Tracy. Yep.

It's the audio that is the mitigating factor, not the video. That is why they are able to loophole it into an illegal wire-tapping charge.

BS.

wire tapping the air?

I didn't read the article. So basically they are pised something was recorded?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a free country?

not any more
