Police really hate cameras because it makes them out to be liars when they try to sensationalize their way out of their mistakes. I have no idea why they care though since it is impossible to be indicted for any wrongdoing in this country, no matter how gross their level of incompetence.

Like I said, I am a big fan of open records, cameras, etc, but there are those that go to far.
We as the public have a right to video whomever we want, as there is no expectation of privacy in public. I agree with you that being within a certain distance is uncool, but to codify it opens it up for "calibrated eye" tests by your brethren that aren't as reasonable. Fuck that, if you don't like being filmed, pick a different job and/or never leave your house.

This is fallout from those pricks with guns going around stirring up problems.
I think it's a bad idea. That means anytime that if I want to record my interactions because some cop wants to be an ass and abuse his power, then I'm breaking the law.
Even with the 25' rule, if I see someone being abuse and stand more than 25' and a cop sees me, all he needs to do is walk my direction and I will be in violation.Last edited by line-em-up; 03-14-2015, 01:15 PM.

I can say that because I've had people in my pits criticizing my driving, and I told the guy to kiss my ass. Maybe you should've been a member of a pit crew for a classier bunch of folks. Sorry your bunch upheld the stereotype.

Actually we always had a great racing relationship with all the regular guys at the track so none of us were bothered much, just smack talk. It was outsiders that usually would talk shit and get in a fight immediately. That was consistent for every track we every went to regularly. Sportsdrome, Kennedale, Devils Bowl, Heart of Texas, you name it, the dipshits were always fighting. I was in the pits or on the sideline my entire life growing up.Whos your Daddy?

- if you are under investigation, then its hard to interfere with your own investigation just by being in close proximity to an officer.

Also, I was going to add that it is always the guy who doesn't have a car and could probably never afford one.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

Originally posted by Forever_frost View PostExcept this doesn't make that distinction. If you hit record on an interaction with police as they interact with you, you are committing a crime and can get arrested and your recording device seized for evidence. Guess what just happened to your evidence of wrong doing.
