So they (governments, businesses, basically anyone that can afford a camera) can photograph us, private citizens, because we’re in public and have no expectation, but we can’t photograph them even though they’re public employees.

We *need* you. We *need* good police officers who understand the law and freedom.

“Not until the Court says it is, probably not in our lifetime either.”

With the rapidity of our degradation, I’m not sure it will have time to make it to the court.

“Nice way to alienate your constituents.”

Jury nullification is a good route to take. When in doubt vote for the citizen, especially in police brutality cases.

“...Illinois, Massachusetts, and Maryland...”

Cutting edge experts in Soviet governance. Lefties love police abuse as long as they are in power to control who gets abused.

Or stream the video and let anybody else record and post as they wish.

Cuts both ways.

Illinois, Massachusetts and Maryland...home states of Obama, Dick Durbin, Barnie Frank, Teddy Kennedy, Elijah Cummings and Steny Hoyer. What's the surprise?

- but if everyone has a printing press (if everyone can create media) then the First Amendment starts to lose some luster for the political establishment.

That's because they can't control the press if the press is all of us!

Those cameras are “not working” or the tapes are “lost” sometimes when the tapes don’t back up the officers’ stories.

These days, if such a claim is made by police, and I were on a jury, I would assume that nothing the officers said could be trusted.

Exactly. Mega surveillance of the peons by the police is just great. But don't dare record us in action!
