Mayor Defends Man After Cops Oppose Recording

 

What really irritates me is when the cops always seem to “arrest” someone for doing something that was constitutionally protected, but later on lower the charges to something minor because they need to justify why they arrested the individual and they know if they keep the original charge they’re gonna get sued.

There has to be a minimum level of ego and narcissism when hiring police officers. They’re never wrong. Ever.
Imagine if the guy who is recording had grabbed the officer’s arm with just as much hostility as he did to him. I wonder if the other officer would only watch as well
Unelected is more of a reason to be able to record, not less. Elected officials can be held accountable at the ballot box. Unelected cannot.
It’s amazing how the people put in place to enforce the law have no knowledge of the law, but lawyers have to spend 6 years to know the law inside and out. I think we got something mixed up…
This audit and the eavesdropping laws are a prime example of ‘give them an inch and they will take a mile’.
The very fact that they attempted to circumvent a statute into a bypass for the first amendment merely shows the level of education regarding the constitution and their understanding of it.
Big time embarrassment when the mayor comes in and removes the signs after the police and other public employees were so insistent on defending them. Great job to the mayor for taking them down and defending individual’s rights!
