Man Gets Arrested, Posts Video of Plainclothed Officer on You Tube, Gets Raided

Videotape police, who videotape you constantly, and get a SWAT team busting down your door! In recent months, there have been several cases of citizens being arrested for recording police activity, in clearly public areas. Of course, law enforcement and the courts constantly proclaim that in public, you have no perception of privacy. Which is why we can't leave our homes without the expectation of being videotaped dozens of times by cameras, public and private. The defendant in this case clearly deserved to be stopped and apprehended, pulling reckless maneuvers in traffic, and riding his motorcycle 120 mph. However, having been taping his own motorcycle stunts, he captured the plainclothes officer cutting him off and wielding a gun, and decided to post it on YouTube. Soon after, the Maryland State Police raided his home and took his computers and recording equipment. This type of double standard is truly dangerous for our liberties. If law enforcement, even if videotaped when committing crime themselves, can simply arrest the citizen taping them, we are in serious tyranny. Either there is a perception of privacy, or there is not. Laws must apply for everyone equally. This is indicative of the problem with America. Politicians write laws, and exempt themselves! They increase taxes, and don't bother to pay them! Once again, the Maryland State Police are unapologetic, and insist they are only enforcing the law. If police have no code of conduct, no way to ensure accountability, then they become just another gang infesting our streets. We need some serious reforms quickly.

in texas, we have a concealed carry law. so with a permit, you can legally carry a concealed weapon on you. if someone rolls up on me and points a gun at me as this ill-advised "police" man did, he is getting about 16 rounds to the dome. period. legally i am not liable. just because someone says they are "police", doesn't necessarily make it true. no lights, siren or badge was presented.

THUMBS UP IF YOU THINK THE WOMAN OF THIS COP MUST BEEN FUCKING WITH A MOTORCICLIST (A REAL MAN) RIGHT NOW.

[TheColaCandy]

Thumbs up if you think I'm a prick.

[Sketcher4017]

So if a carjacker says "state police" I HAVE to let him shoot me? BRILLIANT.

[tetracatredoblehp]

@xGODSxMARINEx yeah and then him shoot you

[FUdirtbag]

reporters didn't paint the motorcyclist in a very nice light did they?

[xGODSxMARINEx]

I woulda punched him in the face when he first touched the bike like that.. You have every right to do it because he has to say I'm a trooper the second he comes out of the car..he said it after he agrresivley touched ur bike.. U shoulda punched him

[terrymagpie]

The motorcyclist puts other people's lives in danger & he squeals like a stuck pig when he's arrested.."I never did anything wrong"...so speeding & pulling wheelies is OK?...Then he mentions his mom being worried...The guys a pussy

[WARVANE]

its not the recording,its the audio that got him in trouble. i dont agree with it , but this is what happens when people do not care about there rights and who they put in office. now that the laws are passed everybody starts caring
