They passed a law in MD forbidding filming of cops after one biker’s helmet cam showed the cop beating the crap out of him for no reason.
can you cite that law. My understanding that in public view merely recording a police officer is not a crime.
How can it be illegal to film cops “doing their jobs”? That makes me sick. What did they base that law on?
