Do police cars in Pennsylvania have cameras that record traffic stops without driver's consent? How about when cops are setting up a sting operation against drug dealers? How can police have any expectation of privacy when doing their job and should they? We should be able to record police or any other public official in the course of their duties just to keep abuses from happening. We have to be able to watch the watchers.
Apparently there is a real need to change the law. It should be pretty much a no-brainer that citizens have the right to perform surveillance of law enforcement officers in the line of duty.
In public, you have no expectation of privacy. None. If the video was now shown in public for profit I dont think there are, or should be legal issues. WHich is telling, because they got him on a wiretapping charge.
Amendment I: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."
Where's the ACLU when you need them? Oh wait, O'Reilly has taught us that they're the most dangerous organization in America....
