We are becoming more and more like the old USSR.

The agents of evil are removing the veneer.

Whose definitions of harass and “annoy” is the Gestapo going to use? This looks like a real revenue raiser to me. Those politicians are smart.

[GeorgeWashingtonsGhost]

This pretty much gives the cops the right to beat the crap out of anyone. FUNY.

[bigheadfred]

it is because of these things i dont care when cops die

[chris37]

If the cops now have the right not to be annoyed, who will be the next to be granted this right?

[muir_redwoods]

This is the back door to outlawing the filming of police activity. It’ll take one judge to rule that filming is interfering is annoying the police.

[teacherwoes]

I suppose taking photos or videos of them is now considered to be annoying.

[clintonh8r]

I bet I know who gets to define “harrassment.”

[PGalt]

Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim — when he defends himself — as a criminal. - The Law; Frederic Bastiat

[TexasFreeper2009]

Anyone else sure that video tapping them will be considered harassment?

or that feeding the meter for someone else will be?

This law is ripe for abuse.

[Chode]

vague at best, this should play out well in the courts...

[Cicero]

This will certainly give them an excuse to shoot dogs and cats—not that they seem to need one anyway.

[Drill Thrawl]

Oh calm down people. There isn’t the slightest change that this law will be abused.

[2nd amendment mama]

We are becoming more and more like the old USSR.

There, fixed it.

Conservative Statism on display, and the reason I’m a Conservative Libertarian.

No, I’m not a member of the Libertarian Party that supports homosexual marriage, distribution of heroin, open borders, etc.

Good luck with that law. A lot of people have instant video uploads of police harassment which can be on the Internet in seconds before their cameras or phones are confiscated.

[NVDave]

There is a very large cohort of “conservatives” who are holster-sniffers.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

If this flies, then the next felony they will go for will be harassing or annoying an elected official, or campaigning against one.

[SeaHawkFan]

Lots of USSC rules make this law unconstitutional.
