We're in serious trouble when these issues have to be exposed by Russia Today! The police state is fundamentally evil in many ways, but none is more evil than the double standard when it comes to the application of law. We are forced to accept the notion that we have no right to privacy (ie. no freedom from state surveillance) while in public. Should law enforcement not be subject to the same laws? A citizen who catches police officers committing crime on video should be considered a community hero!
US media is fundamentally compromised in the way they cover police abuse of authority. They take the word of law enforcement "officials" without question, often reading a press release and reporting on it verbatim! Local media counts on a cordial relationship with law enforcement- it makes their job easier than actually taking the time and energy to investigate a claim of police brutality, official corruption, or violation of civil rights. The camera is the primary weapon against the state's abuse of power! Catching officers in the act is not illegal, but guilty department's will still violate your rights! The only way to stop this is to demand it in your communities! Talk to your local police chief, or your county Sherrif, and find out their policy on the record! This is an excellent means of finding out if they serve the best interest of the citizens, or if they are power mad sadists.

Absolutely fucking sickening... Dirty Ass Packages of Bacon.
It seems that the main issue with this, is "WIRE TAPPING" law. Which states, and I quote "Recording a telephone conversation, without informing all parties that it is being Audio Recorded". Which DOES NOT cover cell phone vids, camcorders, cameras, etc.....
Just make you you remember this Phrase:
"AUDIO IS RECORDING".

if it was the other way around and the guy was beating the hell out the pig shit he would have bin an hero for videotaping. but since it not in the police intrest he,s breaking the law. that the american justice system thats just the way it works.

Sorry USA, but you are well and truly fu$#%d...If one can not videotape law enforcers it must be because they actually got something to hide...which definetely seems to be the case...So glad i live in Europe :)

People we hav 2 wake up & fight back. This is real, i never knew police could do any wrong, until it happened 2 me! We need 2 b able 2 video, 2 protect our selves from them. The police take up 4 one another we should all do the same. Iv'e had police 2 falsify evidence, erase video & audio feed just to make an arrest .I now trust no police officer. But To all PoliceMan that does wrong you will have to answer for it in a higher court & I mean in Gods court not the one you work for everyday.
