We need a privacy amendment to the Constitution, but not for public employees on official business.

And certainly not when performing their official duties in public.

Laws making it illegal to record the actions of public employees in public are the purview of a police state.

Video cameras are becoming weapons. It’s amazing.

Exactly. It should always be legal to record public officials in the performance of their public duties.

We need to promote this in order to keep some amount of accountability of public officials in the new age of digital transparency. If only the government has the ability to record, we will fall into a new tyranny.
