Maybe its just the ease of communicating over the Internet, but there seem to be more and more of these stories. Do the police just ignore the Fourth Amendment these days?

Yeah, I think that it's the increased access to "easy" video recording equipment (cell phones) and access to world-wide media (youtube, fb, twitter, etc.). I expect that they've found it easier to ignore the 4th amendment in the past than they do today.

Without this video recording, it would have been their word against the police's.

Seems like this is happening more often, leading me to think the so far unviolated Third Amendment, the one that catalyzed the creation of the First and Second, will be next to see violated...
