Videotaping the Police

[glatt]

A cop isn't a cop until they identify themselves to you. If they are wearing a uniform or a badge, they are a cop the instant you see them. If a plainclothes cop waives a gun around for a few seconds before identifying themselves, they are risking being shot by a law abiding person in fear for their lives. Cop would have been wise to identify himself with the first words out of his mouth. But he did nothing wrong by waiting a couple seconds. All he did was put his own life at risk.

Motorcycle dude did not break the law when he recorded the audio of the cop without his permission. It wasn't a private conversation. The cop was acting in his official capacity. The Maryland law was passed in order to protect private conversations between citizens. Not to protect police from embarrassment.

If the cop, Maryland State Trooper Joseph D. Uhler, is behind these charges, then we can only conclude that he has a small penis. This is especially true since we saw him pull a gun on someone when there was no weapon visible.

The prosecutor who is pushing for putting a National Guard staff sergeant in prison for 16 years for this is the true villain. State’s Attorney Joseph Cassilly is a first rate prick. Remember his name. If you live in MD and he is ever up for election, vote against him.
