More reasons not to go to Texas
Agreed, never wanted to.
The cops at night, Are cunts outright! clap clap clap clap
Guess every Tesla and anyone with a dashcam will be automatically in violation.
And any establishment/property that has security cameras or a doorbell camera.
That feeling when you’re doing everything according to the law, then a cop walks into the frame and you become an instant felon.
Snowflakes
Can’t record the police, but if someone was recording a news segment and a cop happened to gun down a jaywalker, would they have to stop filming or streaming their feed?
*recording. This isn’t 1950, film is not being used anymore.
So you’re saying we can film them but not record them because its different?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Where did all the freedom loving Americans run off to?
On the bright side, this probably means you could refuse to turn over ANY footage to the police by Pleading the Fifth.
That only works if the police respect ANY law…
Nothing to hide, nothing to fear.
“Saying you don’t need privacy because you have nothing to hide is like saying you don’t need freedom of speech because you have nothing to say.” - Edward Snowden
So don’t point a camera at them. I mean they’re cops, there’s so many better things to point at them.
My butt plug!
If sb1208 passes in the house
And its not struck down as a violation of constitutionally protected rights. States can’t violate the constitution with silly laws like this.
Even with our current federal government? The constitution doesn’t matter if it isn’t enforced.
Can charge, but it’ll still get tossed, no?
“sir, I’m not recording you. I’m recording your uniform.”
Good way to get beat to death.
Don’t talk to police.
I think this is a bit overblown. They only changed “interfering” from a misdemeanor to a felony. They didn’t change the definition interfering. If you’re filming the cops from a safe distance and not interfering, you have an easy to win lawsuit on your hands if they arrest you for legal filming.
Then we just make it a felony to record stuff in any office…CSPAN is so screwed, and so are we.
