Memo To The Police: People Video Taping You Is Not A Crime
Nor should it ever be a crime. Anywhere. At any time.
If the cops aren’t doing anything wrong, then there shouldn’t be any problem with video taping them. Watch to the end when the cops flee the scene, with no explanation for the guy filming them. And while it’s a funny moment, listen to the little girl in the background say that she was “scared.”
It really is no laughing matter.
Good for this filmmaker for standing up to the cops. How many people would have been intimidated into backing down?
At one point the filmmaker says “This is a free country.” In America, where the government is moving toward regulating what we eat and what we drive and how we light our homes and where our temperature is set at, it increasingly isn’t a free country any more.
And Great Britain has it worse than we do.
