Videotaping the Police

[glatt]

Finally, some sanity.

Thank you, Circuit Court Judge Emory A. Plitt Jr., for throwing out the wiretapping charges against motorcycle driving speed freak Air National Guard staff sergeant Anthony Graber.

And Cassilly is still an ass.

But Harford County State's Attorney Joseph I. Cassilly said the ruling "will make it more difficult for the police to do their jobs" and warned that people armed with cameras might soon point their lenses at car accident scenes "and eavesdrop as police take medical history" from patients. Cassilly could appeal, but said on Monday that he had not yet read the judge's ruling.

Graber still faces charges for speeding and reckless driving, as he should.
