We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

I see they weren't too concerned about what he did to the civilian. You disobeyed an order from your superior, don't worry about violating the private citizens rights but don't disobey your supervisor. I wouldn't be too proud of this little article.

Without seeing the video, we don't know that any rights were violated. However, that question was raised in my mind. What was the underlying action that prompted the video?

The woman was videoing an arrest. I can't recall if it was of a relative or not. It doesn't of course matter why she was making the video. As long as there was no expectation of privacy and she was not impeding LAWFUL police business, she had a right to make the videotape. The fact that the cop was willing to violate direct orders certainly points to a guilty conscience on his part, just as did the sabotage of the video cameras by the Philadelphia police who falsely arrested and robbed a number of convenience store workers. Apparently, "if you have nothing to hide..." does NOT apply to cops.
Needless to say, this is just one more way in which police destroy whatever trust the public may have in them.

No, without seeing the video, we don't know that any rights were violated during the arrest that was being videotaped. There isn't the SLIGHTEST doubt that the woman who was doing the videotaping had her rights violated. Even the braindead thug of a cop never alleged that the woman was interfering with the arrest, just that the video was "evidence".

In some states, if you video an LEO (MD, NJ, NY) you can be charged with a felony...
In FREE states (like NC), when a cop threatens you with arrest for videotaping him, he gets a public dressing-down by his Sheriff of Chief...

That's the way it SHOULD be. Any state that has laws prohibiting the video recording of public officials in the performance of their duties is a CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE, and obviously thinks they need to shield their LEOs from accountability through the threat of punishing citizens who try to hold them accountable.
When documenting news-worthy events becomes a crime, the Bill of Rights is dead...
