I know there is some rule about links, but I'm not sure how to share this story otherwise. So, I'll link it, then if it's a problem we'll go from there:
When police need protection from exposure, while violating citizens' rights, they are scared. Fear is what a good government should feel from its people. Fear is healthy for governments, and any citizenry unable to impose it upon their own government, deserve the result they are left with, in its absence. .
They should be executed for filming the forces that protect our benevolent government. This isn't Club Med, if you have an issue with police stopping you randomly to search you, you deserve to rot in jail (or being executed if you're in Texas).
Our present commander in chief knows that constant surveillance is the key to a happy nation (Hence the "see something, say something" government surveillance initiative).
To think that the kook (who's name has been rightly banned) wants to downsize our civillian surveillance apparatus and actually thinks that it is unconstitutional. LOLZ
Impunity for a military caste is a need of yours?
Eventualy they will banish images of cops being cops.
The conviction was overturned on appeal.
I'm more concerned about the laws, then the outcome of this one case. Though, it's crazy and scary that this one case got that far.
