How about equal protection of the laws? Explain to me how the prosecutor feels it is legal for cops to film civilians, but not for civilians to film cops.

If there is freedom of speech, then is there not also freedom to hear speech? And does that freedom not extend to making accurate records of such speech?

And are the actions of the police not truly expressions of their policies? Is one not allowed to take notes during such a stop? It is only the arrogance of police which allows them to place their own actions outside of the observing powers of the public.

You're not really suggesting that it would be Constitutional to bar NBC from ever filming a police activity, are you? How would NBC's protection not apply to other law-abiding citizens?
