It should be accepted law in all the United States, that video/audio recording of public officials involved in their public duties is always legal.

I don’t even think we should be allowed to talk about “public officials involved in their public duties”. Who in the world are we to second guess them?

Farooq apologized at a disciplinary hearing.

LOL, I'll bet that was a heartfelt apology..

You ever make a six year old apologize for hitting his brother? Right, dripping with sincerity.

Beyond legal, it should be encouraged.

Nice to see the Brits are training their police officers after the American Swat Team model.

At least there will be consistency in trampling the citizen rights while we create this veil of legality around any particular action the police might decide to take.

As an aside: Apparently US Border Agents are under a different set of rules :-)

Cheers,
Lloyd
