  • ooohhhh the charges are reduced or dropped.... THEY SHOULDN'T BE MADE IN THE FIRST PLACE!

  • Wait... a cop got ONLY two years for shooting a man who was already on the ground in his back?? How come I've never heard about that one in the news before!?!

  • A man got 4 years for killing a dog while an officer got 2 years for executing a man. Now, it's illegal to film an officer breaking the law and bending it to benefit him/herself. SERVE AND PROTECT? DEMOCRACY? Changing and or passing laws in order to protect your own kind while the people who pay for their wages suffer!

  • What tha fuck is wrong with recording police

  • What states is it currently illegal to record cops in right now? I've heard 3 .. I've heard 12. I know Illinois, Mass and MD are illegal. Are there others that have some issues with it?

  • This is ON TOP of pigs being videotaped saying they will make stuff up to get innocent people arrested. It is time for the people of this country to declare war on the pigs. They've already declared war on us.

  • @MsSarahJ56 What? Okay....you need to retake 5th grade social studies.

  • @HeyItsRaymonds actually im not the one mistaken. the first CIRUIT court of appeals applies to the district of Maine Massachusetts New Hampshire Puerto Rico and Rhode Island. I will elaborate the district of Cali is in the 9th ciruit that also includes the district of AZ NV ID MT OR WA. the district Oklahoma is in the 10 Circuit including the districts of NM KS CO UT WY. The DISTRICT court is something completely different and they have one in every district.

  • THE BALLAD OF READING GOAL:-Oscar Wilde

    The vilest deeds, like poison weeds,

    Bloom well in prison air;

    It is only what is good in Man

    That wastes and withers there.

    Pale Anguish keeps the heavy gate,

    And the Warder is Despair.

  • You cant make recording police illegal! Thats ridiculous. A law like that literally only benefits abusive cops and endangers the public.

  • In Illinois, if I recorde a cop but never play the audio in a video, would this still be illegal?

  • ROTFLMAO of course it was dismissed. Dig the "report" though huh? "Sensationalism" if I've ever seen any.

  • so what about all the CCTV fitted on every street corner almost

  • I call for an amendment protecting the right to record police.

  • If you refuse to stand up for your rights, you'll fall for anything....Can't believe there are so many 'citizens' that are so weak-----Simply stand together and do it the right way. Also, remember, not all cops are bad, most simply need to be educated.

  • That law is unconstitutional. It takes away our right of freedom of press.

  • I swear to god, you can't leave your house without being shot or arrested.

  • Shitting Christian dog fucking fascists!!!

  • The goverment is not a friend of yours. Its is only there to utilize and control you for its own benefits!

  • Hahahahah! Only in America!

  • your country is completely fucked and is the laughing stock of the entire world!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I hope Obama does not get elected again

  • Why is there always a top comment about Ron Paul being a fucking messiah. He's a Republican, good luck him changing anything good. It's just like when Obama was elected, everything thought he was the greatest thing to happen for the US, now look...

  • @khetti2006 ron paul wants to stop spreading fear and death across the world. he believes in mutial trust. he is an honest human being. these words: republican/democrat, are not needed anymore brother.

  • @notevenyo69 Well, I hope it all does work out for you all. I'm English, so I don't actually care that much. But I can't help but feel he's just another lying politician that will let everybody down.

  • We're losing our rights each and everyday, USE THEM or LOSE THEM!!

  • A chain is no stronger than its weakest link - The cops are surely stealing or rights !

  • "statutes" are not laws, thats a fact jack.

  • These are not police jobs we can't easily refill on an ongoing basis, these cops can go back to sheriff of the food court at the mall for $10 an hour. Or, scraping gum under the tables.

  • Did you see that fucking pig cop hit that woman? Fucking pig.

  • @Kazardz and did u see that she was interfering during a Police Arrest with another women and also Pushed him, i bet not!

  • Please Apocalypse come! Please destroy this useless world...omfg

  • Public official, okay

    public place, yep

    on-duty, absolutely,

    if both 1 and 3 or 2 are true, recording of cops is allowed, as they are to have a very little expectation of privacy, they must try to keep private stuff private, if you are in public, and audible at 10 feet, why can't I record the conversation? if you pull me over, i will always turn a camera on.

  • How crazy is that? They don't need your consent to record you. How ridiculous is that? I'm getting a bumper sticker that says pulling me over gives me consent to record our interaction. The end. lol!

  • absolutely unbearable. fuck this goddamned government.

  • hey this is my new page i was the owner and creator of thespirtof1776 youtube decided to censor me and disable this page for 6 months for telling the truth please subscribe to my new page and help and support the movement

  • @usrealnews Please knock off the the 'Youtube censored me for no reason wah wah wah' crap. Fucking fake martyrs pretending they are victims to make themselves feel important.

  • there are cameras on every corner these days. citizens should have the right to record police. There are very few ways we have to prevent potential abuse of power by police. Recording them and revealing their actions is a vital right. This is ridiculous

    I think this is just one more red flag that the majority of Americans do not notice, and will not notice until the NEW WORLD ORDER trap has sprung.

  • I hope they fuck him inside

  • 2 years? FUCKING DISGRACE

  • WOW, its illegal!! hahah THAT is the crime. It doesn't matter if it was dismissed or not, the fact remains that its illegal. I wonder if this didn't get media coverage would it been dismissed?

  • The Second Civil War is coming.

  • that's what you get for not feeding the cops with donuts

  • how dare we hold police accountable for their reactions.

  • Police officials and government representatives should be aware that they are assisting public, providing social services, but not all-powerful gods and stewards.

  • Get over it. If you don't want to be taped, don't go out in public.

  • fuck the police

  • WAKE UP AMERICA vote RON PAUL if u value ur FREEDOM

  • I'm 100% for sousvelliance. These archaic laws need to be revised, and I fear they won't be until the public is sufficiently inflamed. I'm glad, at the very least, that this case got media coverage.

  • Ok folks: This was dimissed in court 15 days later. 

  • @AtlanticMighty it does not matter. it never should have even been put on a piece of paper to be dealt with in court

  • @AtlanticMighty Your missing the point here...the fact is, states are making these laws to take away your constitutional rights and your freedoms by which our forefathers have set for us (Americans). THIS IS A LAW in a dozen states...no matter if he got dismissed in 15 days he was arrested and put in jail..for this!?!?! Thats awful, and its shows where this country is going. OPEN YOUR EYES

  • @AtlanticMighty Yeah and the prosecutor is appealing. Stay tuned.

  • @AtlanticMighty This case was dismissed but now the state of Illinois is trying to appeal in the supreme court! Put the pressure on the nutty prosecutors that want to jail this man for 75 years:

    STOP POLICE CORRUPTION. RECORD RECORD RECORD!!!

  • @AtlanticMighty That's good, but it's not enough. Those laws need to be taken off the books across the board so that the damn pigs can't accuse people of this crap.

    The cops who pressed charges belong in prison.

  • @AtlanticMighty thouhgt they just toke it back to court ? NO ??

  • That's just fucking ridiculous. Police officers are public figures, and whether they like it or not, they're going to be put in the spotlight. If they do something wrong and it's filmed, that's their own damn fault. 75 years for filming police officers, when they're protected by law to film the same thing, is just unbelievable. The public has a right to know if an officer does something wrong. This is an outrage.

  • but they can film us while they beat and possibly kill us all because their JOB let's them carry a badge and gun, THEY ARE OUR SERVANTS JUST LIKE THE OTHER TREASONOUS ONES IN DC

  • Sounds like the Police are making this law to keep people from having evidence of the Police breaking the law themselves !

  • Meanwhile, a child molester in New York gets 4 years. He probably will be released after 2 years with parole.

  • Wow no wonder nobody likes law enforcement. They love to break the rules they enforce, and never face penalty for the same crimes we get a lifetime sentence over.

  • @yesmaybeno, you have got to be the biggest idiot here; Have you ever been to a 3rd world communist and/or socialist nation? Try videotaping cops in any communist nation and your entire family is in jail doin hard labor. Before you start you idiotic and childish name calling do som reasearch..

  • This is rediculous...but you get alot of drug dealers dealing out shit and killing others and get out cuz jails are so over populated...but they are going to make room for a man who eaves drops...omg wtf is this country coming too?

    

  • kill a cop go to heaven

  • eaves dropping and wire tapping is illegal for you, legal for government. the more you know.

  • WTF is with USA? The most desired country from the Earth, now is going down! I'm glad i live in other country!

  • This is fascism in action.

  • Is it freedom?

  • Way to go USA...

  • How is this not wrong?! fuck man.. this pisses me off more than anything. I hate cops.. soon everyones going to get tired of their shit & rebel against them, god damn..

  • This is fucking stupid!

  • Revolution, anyone? Ron Paul or bust!

  • Welcome to the police states of america!

  • this is insane...........

  • rise up before its too late sheep...

  • I will believe the US has changed direction, when this man is broken out of prison by a MOB!

  • all this talk about the law has made me hungry, anyone want subway?

  • Can someone tell me a good country to move to? i NEED TO GET OUT BEFORE WE COLLAPSE.

  • Maybe it's time for the civil liberties union to get involved and force this matter to the supreme court.

  • Well, if you Americans want to keep your Democracy, better update those laws.

    Scary stuff.

    By the way, who is John Galt?

  • Judge Rejects Eavesdropping Charges for Recording Police

    reason.com/blog/2011/09/20/ill­inois-judge-rejects-eavesdr

  • America, the land of the hypocrite.

  • @tommikoira WORD

  • USA is a bloody regime state.

  • stop this madness, elect Dr. Ron Paul for President in 2012 and take back our Constitution.

  • @roberaith Ron Paul doesn't need to be president to do this. He has the money to start things now if he wanted to and it would look good to the voters that he did so. He's just a talker like the rest.

  • @roberaith

    Ron Paul wouldn't stop this. He's just another rhino.

  • @roberaith Ron Paul is a states' rights advocate. He wouldn't see it as correct for him, a federal official to interfere with a prosecution under state law.

  • @roberaith /facepalm

  • This is insane!!!!! D:

  • So a cop beating a man half to death, and theres someone recording.. the guy recording gets 75years prison and the cop nothing? This is worse than getting an arrow in the knee!

  • What law is this? I would like to read it!

  • THATS WHY IMMA COP KILLA :D WHO GONNA STOP ME =D

  • @turbonbc Hopefully someone who is willing to waste their time trying to teach you the ENGLISH LANGUAGE!

  • @Nitemyst5824 English Rules Fail.

  • just more double standards by the corrupt cops, again.

  • So recording the abuse of authority is illegal? Fuck that.

  • to all people living in the US please unite against the police!! PLEASE WATCH this

    /watch?v=jagvYIMJyzU

    This is what needs to start happening!!

  • HUHH???

    

  • @mmmmmhotdogs Not these days. We all not this stupid,at least.

  • /facepalm Seriously? The cops are SO paranoid that people are going to catch them going against the law (Police brutality and others) that they're saying catching a cop on video is as bad as rape? Seriously?! We're finished as a society,I hope you know that. 

  • did he get sent to the pen?

  • man if this gets out of hand. fuck it i, got my 2nd amendment..

  • ask a cop , if i cant film u that means you can do anything and i cannot have any evidence against you and that whats you want so you can enslave the people.

    this some of that new world order sht right here :D

  • @Ozonencb U r sooo right

  • @Ozonencb U r sooo right

  • Down with Fascism! I moved too. Glad I did. The US has become a very dangerous lunatic out of control police state. Hope my friends get out - before they are locked up or killed!

  • anarchy please.

  • Comment removed

  • what about when the police record you? like during the show cops? im positive they dont get consent for that and yet you dont see the cops getting in trouble for it.

  • Shot and killed that guy..oh shit. Why isn't he in jail for the rest of his life? What is happening to this world, its fucking falling apart.

  • seems fair 

  • I'm not too proud to be an American.

  • And they wonder why people are starting to hate cops. I had a lot of family that were good officers and never had a reason for taping to bother them as they did their jobs with kindness and understanding. The very fact that this law is being enforced the way it is shows they have something to hide. I would think that the constitution trumps this law, with the freedom of speech and expression. Taping with out consent is a civil case at best. I think it is about time we take America back.

  • EAVESDROPPING a crime? wtf lol that is screwed up, what about the police brutality in those scenes? are the officers being called to account ?

  • I wonder if this applies to the media.

    Can reporters be arrested for doing their jobs?

  • So what about like stadium parking lot cameras. There on it, but it was always there, and there going to get recorded no matter what. Same with Gas stations or banks. So why own camera's for defense? The law is just recording, not showing to the public. So I ask any banks, gas stations, or anywhere that has a camera for protection turn it off, or put a sign in your window that says no police/

  • "illegal" does not mean "a crime". If they passed a law against breathing, would you stop?

  • Well that's funny! Obama's president, the Senate (makes final decisions on new law) is predominately Democrat, Elena Kagan on the Supremes worked for Obama personally and ChicanoCW thinks the country is run by "right-wing Nazism"? Your people are in charge Liberals, take responsibility for the disaster you created.

  • @testificari3 Stop blaming everything on a liberal/conservative agenda. It's neither. ALL politicians are bought and paid for and ALL of them are out to line their own pockets and take away your rights one step at a time. Part of the plan is to keep US (the people) divided by having us choose a side - right or left. Extreme right is fascism and just as dangerous or perhaps even worse than the extreme left. The destruction of your freedom started at least 2 terms before Obama.

  • @stainedglassfx With Ron Paul being one of the few the exceptions.

  • This is fucked-up

  • im soooo glad i have moved from the states...

  • @shadowynne where did you move? I have to get the fuck out of this insane asylum.

  • @shadowynne To where another police state?

  • Shouldn't police be held to the same standard or even a higher standard than normal citizens? I don't think this is fair at all.

  • Comment removed

  • This sentence is a mockery of justice.

  • fuck this im moving to canada

  • But the police can videotape you with a dashcam without your consent.

  • Child molesters get less time than this. This is bullshit

  • arrested for selling ART!!! WHAT THE FUCK!

  • New NAZI Germany. Corporate States of america. your congress is passing laws while many youl all asleep....Soon theyl pass a law that you stay inside your homes. PS 9/11 was never investigated. Your own government... Im 100% killed your own people. And they still do.

  • What the f?!

    I knew USA was sick, but, wow, this is just, wow...

  • OPEN YOUR FUCKING EYES USA! YOU'RE BEING LIED TO EVERYDAY! UNCLE SAM IS PISSING IN YOUR FUCKING FACE. go to work, send your kids to school, follow fashion, act normal, walk on the pavement, watch TV, save for your old age, obey the law and REPEAT AFTER ME: I AM FREE!

  • Land of the brave?

  • @sgtswede Land of bullshit.

  • WOW.... Land of the NOT so free..

  • The FEW control the MANY... !!!.

  • Bad news, the judge ruled his case unconstitutional and threw out the charges.

    Now the state is appealing it, they really want this man to go to prison.

    It's only a matter of time...say good bye to your freedom.

  • So thats what freedom means in America...who would wanna live there?!?

  • I have been saying this for years "Its us against them " Police are not here to protect us - they are the enemy - there here so they can tax us . traffic tickets are additional taxes - court fees are taxation- they have way to much power and its getting worse - so prepare yourselves these are the end of days

  • jeez

    

  • The laws need to be changed. Call your legislators.

  • Comment removed

  • @ChicanoCW no, it's not communism. you're on the other end of the spectrum. this is right-wing nazism, easily comparable to the gestapo.

    lets get this shit started:

    >conservitards

  • Comment removed

  • @ChicanoCW with a "Christian" attitude like that, I don't doubt you're a right-wing fringe conservative. What I don't understand is how, as a Republican/Conservative, you can vote against your own people over and over again. Do you hate being Latino? You're a brainwashed sheep, and nothing more. Go take your fake Christianity elsewhere.

  • Comment removed

  • @ChicanoCW hahah good grief you're pathetic. You should hate yourself because you can't even string a coherent sentence together. I can't tell if they removed your comment because of all the profanity (which clearly shows your intelligence) or because of all the stupidity. It's probably a little bit of both. I can tell you one thing, though, you're not fit to lick the boots of my Latino friends. You're a disgrace to your race. Go back to Mexico, you're full of hate and venom.

  • @jiminey6969 you realize that in fact nazism is not a word. you mean fascism. And just so you know, there's literally no difference between Fascism and communism, aside from who created them. You fail hard sir.

  • @CorrundumAndSilver there is no simularity between Communism and Facism!!!! How are they the same?

  • @ZirLanzelott 1.Absolute government control. 2.Constant Government murders of the people, especially anyone who disagrees with their actions. 3.Government control over business, and commerce. 4.massive drop in quality of life for the average citizen. You ought to actually study things objectively. You'll see the world in a whole new light.

  • @CorrundumAndSilver You should be the one doing the studies. Communism is a system of economy. Fascism is a system of government. Soviet Union was a communist state. North Korea is a communist state. But they have dictatorship. Plus there are difference between Marxism (original communism) Stalin Communism and lennin Communism. There is NOTHING similar about Fascism and Communism.

  • @THEgnoj Name on way that they are different. Please. Because if you actually look at them, or read anything about them, and are sober enough to still understand human language, you know that both systems strip the rights of the people to nothing, and force them to function like ants in an anthill, all the while being told that there is nothing better, and any mention of freedom, or choice, or real happiness is a lie.

  • @jiminey6969 The Nazis were socialists. The National Socialist Party. They also created nationalized healthcare like Obama. Mussolini, Stalin, Mao are also Leftists who would approve of this.

  • @RobetPaulG Baloney. They were thugs and total whores for the corporatists in socialist clothing.

  • No wonder my city hates the police like .. tons.

    One guy actually got pissed and drove over one of those bike polices. lol. The police right now is in a coma or something.

    This is just crap.

  • mmm looks like US wonderful democracy does not work :)

  • @truesightgrabber The USA isn't a democracy, you tosspot, it's a republic. You wouldn't know that because you're a subject of Queen Elizabeth and she wants to keep you ignorant. :)

  • @TheCandidCanadian

    A republic is a form of democracy. You're just listening to an old propaganda campaign designed to de-validate the word "democrat".

  • .... from the city that gave us our sitting president,  the Chicago way.

  • We need to get a brick and a torch in the country !!!!!

    This has no business wasting tax payers money on such nonsense !

  • Chilling. The fascists have really taken over.

  • ...so how come they don't arrest the paparazzi??? They would be the ones that would make eavesdropping feel like rape.

  • A city of Celina, Texas Police Officer threatened to arrest me for having security cameras on my property. However, the Police Chief said there was no such law and I also contacted the Dallas Times. There are dumbths police Officers out there who try to hide their behaviors behind silly laws.

  • APPEAL TO THE SUPREME COURT THEN

  • The US is not only a major Theocracy but it is a military Theocracy now.

    How did the citizens of the US walk into this nightmare?

    Were they all sleeping?

  • wow this is fucked up.
