You have the ABSOLUTE RIGHT to FILM police as long as you dont interfere

with what they are doing.

Yes, they are going to use that excuse probably if they know what they are doing is wrong, but keep filming, you are protected by our god damn constitution.


No link, just reading another story about a cop telling someone they cant film him.

ATTENTION POLICE READING THIS

we have that right, we are going to execute our right

And since they have the guns and can legally kill you 999 times out a 1000, be careful.

Only white str8t males can get away with expressing their constitutional rights

everyone else do so at your own risk, you may well be shot

doesn't mean people agree with it or will respect/honor it.

Countless examples. This is why it is so important to keep exercising and litigating to preserve those rights.

It's always going to be your word against theirs, and they will lie and usually win.
