And if you think there is some state law prohibiting the filming/taping/recording of cops, you are out of date.
This issue has been to the SCotUS, and they have ruled that police, when in public, can be filmed/taped/recorded.
This guy was not interfering with the police, and they had no right to arrest him, to cuff him, or even to question him.
There is only one reason for the police to object to being recorded, and that is because they are doing, or about to do, something they shouldn't.
You completely misunderstand what I was saying! You and that other guy both didn’t get my simple point! And, you’re reading into it things I never meant or intended.
I DID NOT say the guy was doing anything wrong. I said he was “aggressively filming” the cops. In other words, he was making a scene doing it, therefore, it is no surprise that the cops got their power-tripping “cop attitude” going. NO, it wasn’t right for them to cuff the guy, and HELL, NO, it wasn’t right for them to shoot his dog, even though the dog appeared to possibly present a danger to them.
