Of course, in many states filming cops is illegal.
The State does not like to be seen.

Unfortunately for those many (3 actually) states, getting video hosted anonymously from offshore sites isn't difficult to do, and those laws are made in clear defiance of the constitution.

“The State does not like to be seen.”

“Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy . . . censorship. When any government, or any Church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects “This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,” the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything-— you can’t conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him.”
