Everyone's so anti-police until we need them to defend against white supremacists. And most of these libertarian "1st amendment audit" and "copblock" types are covert white supremacists.

I 100% support this law. Police should not live in fear of being recorded out of context when they're doing their duty to protect the citizenry.

The police are the white supremacists. The 2006 FBI report has some interesting documentation on the white supremacist police infiltration efforts.

Then why should I? If being recorded is such a terrible fate, let's make it illegal to record anyone, right? No? thought so.

What about police who abuse their power? What about police who lie, victimize, murder, and torture?

Shouldn't citizens be allowed and even encouraged to shine a bright light on their abuses?
