->> Thanks John
I did a search to make sure it wasn't discussed before but I must have missed the thread. |

| ->> Is there a discount whenever someone notifies the list that there already is a thread on the subject? Just wondering. Maybe there is a thread on that subject, too. |

->> At least regarding the comments relating to Maryland--it is NOT unlawful to video record an officer on duty. Just as it is not unlawful to video record anyone who is out and about and has no reasonable expectation of privacy in their actions.
In Maryland, however, it is--and has been for years--unlawful to record audio without the other party's consent.
Some of the comments in the articles are at the very least misinformed, if not wrong and misleading. |

->> I guess I don't understand how it is okay to have cameras recording us at every corner of the street, in highways, in police cars, buses, etc... Yet we the citizen can't record the people who are in charge?
Kinda weird to me
I don't remember giving consent to the gov't to record my every move in public |

The key appears to be 'audio.' Traffic cameras, security cameras, etc, do not have audio usually.
In a store there is usually some sort of sticker/warning informing people they are being taped and by entering you consent to being taped. |

->> Aren't police public servants? They're paid with our money, if they're in public, they should be taped.
Media, should not be controlled, not by individuals, or the government. That leads to only negative problems. It's a way to self-police society. |

| ->> Is there audio with the motorcycle video? (none in the link from above) If not, then I don't see how it violates the wiretapping laws. |

->> "In many jurisdictions, the police themselves record encounters with the public with dashboard cameras in their cars. "Police and governmental recording of citizens is becoming more pervasive and to say that government can record you but you can't record, it speaks volumes about the mentality of people in government," Rocah said. "It's supposed to be the other way around: They work for us; we don't work for them.""
So we can sue them?? |

->> James,
I thought that quote summed it up perfectly.
Did the cop really have to pull his gun and point it at the kid? Come on now, wtf is wrong with the police these days.
(I know general statement) |
