I can't not say anything

There's an smartphone app designed to record and anonymously upload encounters. Here is both sides of that:

I think the phrasing on the police site pretty much sets the tone, "Cops have another thing to watch out for..." It seems to be a mindset that citizens recording police are automatically enemies that one needs to be aware of.

Clearly, a law needs to passed that recording anyone who is paid by the public, is legal to be video/audio recorded while performing their job. Hell, it should be mandatory equipment. Police already have audio mics that connect to their in-dash video system.

Most police are doing The Right Thing most of the time, just like the rest of humanity.

I agree that they should not be treating film as the enemy. Personally I would want vindication for doing things right. On the other hand I think there are a few different real concerns for having random people close up on your scene. While they are idly sitting by a shootout or 2nd suspect could appear. For the cops while making an arrest, someone walking up pretending to film could be an accomplice making a surprise attack to rescue their homie.

In the case of this lady, with the other material I've seen on it, I am not a fan as she was acting as a all black arrests are racially motivated instigating libtard.

Think of it like free speech, you have a right, and then you get some that try and abuse it like westboru babtist and the funeral protests. I believe in the right, but I'm still going to dislike those that abuse/use it maliciously.
