The ACLU sometimes goes a little too far for me, but in cases like this I thank God that they are here!! Wiretap law is being completely mis-used and people being arrested for using cell phone cameras to record cop actions. This is happening in Pennsylvania, as we are a 2-party state. Read this for details: http://www.boston.com/news/local/massachusetts/articles/2010/01/12/police_fight_cellphone_recordings/ "In Pennsylvania, another two-party state, individuals using cellphones to record police activities have also ended up in police custody. But one Pennsylvania jurisdiction has reaffirmed individuals’ right to videotape in public. Police in Spring City and East Vincent Township agreed to adopt a written policy confirming the legality of videotaping police while on duty. The policy was hammered out as part of a settlement between authorities and ACLU attorneys representing a Spring City man who had been arrested several times last year for following police and taping them." If the ACLU didn't champion this, who would? Bust on the ACLU all you want, they do a LOT of good for America's freedom. |
