| __________________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 10:58am - TheRidersofDoom ""] I think that goes against the freedom of press. |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 10:59am - arilliusbm ""] Absolutely absurd. They are public servants. They serve us. Thus state is communist. diginet.net. Just buy the sunglasses or pen. They video tape evrything without anyone knowing. |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:00am - goatcatalyst ""] Why record them on a cell phone when you could shoot them with an unregistered firearm? Of course, you won't catch me doing so, but I just thought I'd put that out there. |
| __________________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:01am - TheRidersofDoom ""] police privacy laws have been violated....I thought when you were working on the job as a public servant you had no privacy....? |
| _______________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:02am - quintessence ""] That guy got his charges dismissed. Thats so stupid. He did nothing wrong. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copwatch |
| __________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:06am - Doomkid ""] If they can watch us, we should be able to watch them. Simple as that. I'm glad the charges in the 1st two cases were dismissed but this shit need to go to trial so precedent can be set. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:12am - FuckIsMySignature ""] according to the guy next to me at work these privacey laws have been in place for 30 years. apparently you can also get arrested for filming the public out of your window with a camera. |
| __________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:13am - Doomkid ""] Well the article talked about their original intent to be preventing private dicks from taping people without their consent. Just another set of laws that need to be rewritten for the digital age. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:23am - FuckIsMySignature ""] dick used to be slang for policemen if i'm not mistaken |
| _____________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:27am - arilliusbm ""] Oh wait so it's okay for the tsa to scan naked bodies in the airports, but we can't film a person who serves the public? |

| ________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:33am - Murph ""] It's the audio that is the mitigating factor, not the video. That is why they are able to loophole it into an illegal wire-tapping charge. BS. |

| _____________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:41am - arilliusbm ""] I didn't read the article. So basically they are pised something was recorded? Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this a free country? |
| ____________________________________________ [Jan 12,2010 11:43am - FuckIsMySignature ""] not any more |
